Club career

Chelsea

Born in Maidstone, Sammut joined Chelsea in 2004 at under-8 level and went onto make his under-18 debut in March 2013. Following this, he quickly became a regular in Chelsea's academy sides, featuring in both their UEFA Youth League and FA Youth Cup successes in 2015 and 2016.[1] Despite rumours suggesting Sammut was to leave the club following the conclusion of the 2017–18 campaign, he signed a new one-year deal in June.[2]

On 19 June 2018, following his contract extension, Sammut agreed to join Scottish side, Falkirk on a season-long loan and was given the number 8 jersey upon arrival.[2] On 14 July 2018, he went onto make his professional debut during Falkirk's Scottish League Cup defeat against Montrose, featuring for the full 90 minutes in the 1–0 loss.[3]

International career

Still eligible to represent England and Malta at international level, Sammut has featured for Scotland from under-16 to under-21 level.
