Career
[edit | edit source]Samways was born in Doncaster, and began his career in the youth system of hometown club Doncaster Rovers. He made his debut in the Third Division on 11 March 1988 in a 2–2 draw at home to Chester City. He was ever-present in the League in the 1989–90 season,[1] before moving on to Scunthorpe United in March 1992, initially on loan.[3] He was first-choice goalkeeper for that club for four and a half seasons, and was voted Player of the Season for 1994–95.[4] He spent time at York City and Darlington, and had an unsuccessful trial back at Doncaster, before moving into non-League football with Matlock Town and Frickley Athletic.[1][2]
In 2012, Samways was coaching at Doncaster Rovers' Centre of Excellence.[5]
