The left-back has come through the youth system at Everton and represented England at age-group level. Samuels-Smith was named on the bench in the Premier League for the first time in the Blues’ loss to Fulham at Goodison Park in April - as well as being included in the squad for a Carabao Cup defeat by Bournemouth last November.

Throughout the 2022-23 campaign, Samuels-Smith made a total of 29 appearances for both the under-21s and under-18s.
