Sam Fishburn (footballer)

Sam Fishburn (born 26 November 2003) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for Scunthorpe United.

Career

Born in Gateshead, Fishburn joined Carlisle United's youth team in 2020 and, following a prolific season with the club's under-18 side, he signed a two-year senior contract in summer 2021 with a further one-year option. On 17 August 2021, Fishburn joined Northern Premier League Premier Division club Lancaster City on loan until January 2022. After 8 goals in 9 matches for Lancaster City, he was recalled by Carlisle in late September. He made his debut for Carlisle on 28 September 2021 as a substitute against Everton U21 in the EFL Trophy, and made his league debut off the bench the following month in a 2–2 draw away to Newport County.

On 28 July 2022, Fishburn joined National League North club Blyth Spartans for a three-month loan deal. On 12 September 2022, days after his loan spell at Blyth came to an end, he joined Northern Premier League Premier Division side Morpeth Town on a loan-deal until the end of the season, with a recall option after 28 days. Morpeth had previously tried to sign Fishburn in pre-season, but Carlisle felt like the loan move to Blyth would be a better option.

On 30 June 2023, following his release from Carlisle, he signed for EFL League One side Fleetwood Town on a one-year contract with the club holding the option of a further year. He was placed into Matthew Lawlor's Development Squad. In March 2024, he joined National League club York City on loan for the remainder of the season. At the end of the 2023-2024 season he was released by Fleetwood Town.

On 13 June 2024, following his release from Fleetwood Town, he signed for National League North side Scunthorpe United
