Imari Samuels

Imari Samuels of Dundee was born in Hammersmith, England on 5 February 2003 (age 23).

Imari Samuels, born on 5 February 2003 (age 23), is an English left-back whose senior career has been shaped chiefly at Dundee. He wears squad number 12, and his current market value is around £255,000, according to Transfermarkt.

Dundee has been the serious body of work so far. Across three seasons, Samuels has made 42 league appearances for the club, a fair measure of where his professional grounding has come. The 2024-25 campaign brought three league appearances, while in 2026-27 he has added six in the league and two more in the Scottish Cup.

At this stage, Samuels’ career is still a Dundee story more than anything wider. He is a developing full-back with regular first-team exposure, rather than a finished article with a long record behind him.
