Samuel "Sam" Stanton (born 19 April 1994) is a Scottish footballer who plays as a midfielder for Hibernian. He has also previously played for Cowdenbeath and Livingston, and represented Scotland at youth international level.

Early life

Stanton attended Broughton Primary and Trinity Academy, Edinburgh.[1]

Career

Stanton was a member of the Hibernian under-19 squad.[2] He was promoted to the first team on 28 December 2011 when he was an unused substitute for the match against Inverness CT.[3] He went on to make his first team debut aged 17 as a substitute against Rangers on 28 January 2012.[4][5] Stanton shares his surname with a famous former Hibs player, Pat Stanton, but is not related to him.[3] He signed a three-year contract with Hibs in September 2012.[6] Stanton was loaned to Cowdenbeath in January 2013[7] and made his debut in a 1–1 draw against Morton.[8] His stint at Cowdenbeath ended after just two appearances, however, as he suffered a knee injury that required surgery.[9]

Stanton established himself in the Hibs first team during the second half of the 2013–14 season. He won the SPFL young player of the month award for February 2014.[10] In April 2014, Stanton signed a four-year contract extension with Hibs.[11]

On 8 January 2016, Stanton signed for Livingston for the remainder of the 2015–16 Scottish Championship season.

International career

Stanton was selected for the Scotland national under-19 football team in August 2012.[12] He appeared as a substitute in a 1–0 defeat against Germany.[13] He then scored the winning goal in a 2–1 victory against Norway.[14] On 5 March 2014, he made his debut for the Scotland Under 21 side in a 2–2 draw against Hungary at Tannadice.[15]
