Transfermarkt says he's without a club. I hope not, I always thought he had a bit of something.
Looked him up.
Sammy is indeed an odd one and slightly sad, he never actually kicked a ball for Boro. His last competitive game of any sort as a player was our 3-1 win over QPR in April 2021.
It was never disclosed what his issue was but rumoured knee injury, he certainly seems to have retired from the game age 29. The only thing I could find on him know was that he was touring schools speaking about his faith.
Great shame he was fun to watch, quite an odd clumsy style of play but effective and entertaining, scored a few cracking goals.
Interesting, thanks Salv. I wish him all the best.

Adama Diakhaby went back to France and did very little but then signed for the mighty Qarabag who are the Azerbaijan equivalent of Celtic in that they win their title every year. At least he gets to play Europa league football and he got 5 goals for them last year.
Nicolao Dimitru seems to have finally ended his commendable ambition to play for Italy and has found clubs in Korea, Romania, Israel, Thailand, Malaysia. Just last week he rocked up to sign a contract for PSS Sleman who hail from Java. In terms of a random career thats got to be hard to top.
The ball must have hit him and gone in off his arse.
Diakhaby is my all time worst ever player I've seen play for us.
2nd worst for me by a distance
Michael Stewart - how the hell he blagged his way into ManU academy and then on loan to US I will never ever know. Couldn't run, Couldn't control it Couldn't pass it and couldn't head it. Yet claimed to be a centre mid!! At least Diakhaby could run....

Yes, goodness knows what he's meant to have done. He seemed like he was being lined up as the successor to Gary Lineker but that's out of the window now.

Would be all that surprised if Lineker started identifying as one
