Sammy Henia-Kamau signs first professional contract at Swansea City

Swansea City striker Sammy Henia-Kamau has signed his first professional contract with the club.

The 18-year-old has extended his stay in SA1 until June 2025, having arrived in SA1 last summer as a scholar.

Henia-Kamau netted his first hat-trick in Swans colours in the under-18s’ opening PDL Cup group stage fixture against Cardiff City, as they went on to reach the final of that competition.

In total he scored 10 goals in all competitions during an impressive first season with the club.

The youngster spent his youth career at Jersey Bulls FC, and became the youngest player to net a hat-trick for their first team. 

He went on to pick up the annual Sid Guy Award for the most outstanding player at the Jersey FA’s Centre of Excellence in June 2022. 

He scored 20 goals in 15 matches for the Jersey Bulls Under-16s in all competitions, as well as six goals for their under-18s.

Swansea City Under-18s head coach Jarred Harvey said: "It's an incredible achievement, and it's something all young footballers dream of.

"I've only been here a short time, and Sammy has shown that he is capable and the hard work starts now, and hopefully he can get as close to that first team environment as he can.

"I want to congratulate Sammy on the contract, as its something you earn as a player and extend the congratulations to his family who have supported him throughout his career."
