Sam Surridge

Samuel William Surridge (born 28 July 1998) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for Major League Soccer club Nashville SC.

[14] Surridge made his Premier League debut for the Cherries in a 5–1 loss to Arsenal on 28 February 2019, replacing Ryan Fraser on the 80-minute mark.

[21] Surridge was thought to have scored his first Premier League goal for the club, equalising 1–1 in the penultimate game of the 2019–20 season against south coast rivals Southampton.

[22] Surridge was described by Cherries coach Mark Molesley as being the perfect example to loan players at non-league clubs in how to make the grade, citing his successes in loan spells at non-league level and football league clubs like Yeovil, Oldham and Swansea as being evidence of Surridge "climbing the ladder and earning his stripes".

[29] He was allowed to leave Stoke in the January transfer window just six months after joining by manager Michael O'Neill who stated that Surridge had struggled to settle into the team.

"He got off to a decent start, scored on his debut and the early games were very promising but his form suffered a little bit after that and I think generally he struggled to settle at the club.

[32][33] He made his debut for the club on 6 February, coming off the bench on the 71st minute of a 4–1 home win over Premier League side Leicester City in the 4th round of the FA Cup.

[35] In the second half of the 2021–22 season, Surridge scored 7 goals in 20 appearances for Forest in the Championship, helping the club achieve promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs.
