Samuel Tshiayima Nombe (born 22 October 1998) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for EFL League One club Exeter City.

Club career

Milton Keynes Dons

Nombe joined Milton Keynes Dons academy at under-11 level, and on 12 May 2017 signed professional terms with the club, alongside fellow academy graduate Hugo Logan.[4]

On 8 August 2017, Nombe made his competitive professional debut for the club, coming on as an 80th-minute substitute for Ryan Seager during an EFL Cup first round away win over Forest Green Rovers.[5] Nombe made his league debut four days later on 12 August 2017, coming on as a 72nd-minute substitute for Robbie Muirhead in a 1–0 away defeat to Blackpool.[6]

On 9 February 2018, Nombe joined National League South club Oxford City on loan until the end of the 2017/18 season.[7] During his brief loan spell, Nombe scored 6 goals in 9 appearances for the club before being recalled to Milton Keynes Dons on 23 April 2018.[8] On 18 May 2018, following a productive first season as a professional, Nombe signed a contract extension keeping him at the club until summer 2019,[9] which was later extended until June 2020 on 31 May 2018.[10] On 30 October 2018 Nombe re-joined Oxford City on a short-term loan until 1 January 2019,[11] before joining National League club Maidenhead United on 11 January 2019 until the end of the season.[12]

On 16 October 2020, Nombe joined Championship club Luton Town for the remainder of the 2020–21 season with an "intent and option" for a permanent transfer.[13] At the conclusion of the season, Luton Town opted not to make Nombe's transfer permanent following limited first team opportunities in which he made only 11 league appearances.[14]

Exeter City

On 5 July 2021, Nombe joined League Two club Exeter City for an undisclosed fee, signing a three-year contract.[15] He scored his first goal for City on 18 September in a 2–0 home win over Sutton United, his effort minutes prior being chalked down as a Sutton own goal. Exeter secured promotion back to League One that season, with Nombe scoring 8 goals despite being injured for a large part of the season.
