Junior Stephen Ngong Sam (born 17 February 1988), known as Junior Sam, is a Cameroonian professional footballer who plays as a striker for One Taguig of the Philippines Football League.[2]

Club career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Sam was born in Bambili [fr], Cameroon. He played the majority of his youth career in Cameroon, first for Puissance Avenir then transferring to Cosmos FA Du Mbam.[1]

In 2017, he moved to the Philippines to play amateur football for Laos, a former club in the UFL, before playing 7's football for Manhur FC.[3] During this time, he also represented his club in tournaments such as Neymar Jr's Five World Finals.[4][5][6]

Mendiola FC 1991

[edit]

In 2022, he signed his first professional contract with Filipino side United City alongside other foreign recruitments,[3] but did not play a match and was transferred to Mendiola 1991 before the club's cup campaign, the 2022 Copa Paulino Alcantara, kicked off. He remained with Mendiola for the 2022–23 season of the PFL and was successful, with 6 goals and 1 assist in 19 appearances, though Mendiola finished second-last.[7][8][9]

Stallion Laguna

[edit]

During the 2023 Copa Paulino Alcantara, Sam was re-signed by Mendiola and played matches for the club,[10][11] though he was loaned to fellow PFL club Stallion Laguna as a foreign reinforcement for the club's matches in their maiden AFC Cup campaign. In the opening match at the Biñan Football Stadium, Stallion lost 5–2 to Indonesian side Bali United, with Sam scoring the equalizer in the 30th minute.[2][12][13][14]
