Samuel James "Sam" Togwell (born 14 October 1984 in Maidenhead, Berkshire) is an English football player who currently plays as a defensive midfielder for League One side Scunthorpe United.

He began his career with Crystal Palace in 2002, where he was loaned out to Oxford United, Northampton Town, and Port Vale. In 2006 he transferred to Barnsley, before he joined current club Scunthorpe United in 2008.

[edit] Playing career

Togwell started out in the Crystal Palace youth set-up at the age of ten,[1] before making his senior debut as a seventeen year old substitute on 22 December 2002 at Millmoor. Palace beat Rotherham United 3–1, returning to London with three First Division points.

He didn't get another game in the 2002–03 or 2003–04 seasons, mainly due to a broken leg. After rejecting a loan move to Norwegian side Viking FK,[1] Togwell joined League Two Oxford United on loan in October 2004. He made five appearances before returning to Selhurst Park the next month. In March 2005 he went back into the basement division to join Northampton Town on loan. He made eight appearances, before his loan deal was extended to cover the play-offs.[2] Southend United defeated the Cobblers in the semi-finals, before beating Lincoln City in the final.

Togwell, by now captain of the Reserve side, played the in the opening three rounds of the League Cup in 2005–06, including a 2–1 defeat of European Champions Liverpool in which he marked Steven Gerrard.[1] In November 2005, he joined League One Port Vale on a six week loan deal.[3] He impressed at Vale Park, especially on 6 January when he scored both goals of a FA Cup Third Round defeat of Doncaster Rovers.[4] Having already had the loan extended once,[5] Martin Foyle managed to extend the deal until the end of the season after Togwell played some excellent football in January.[6] In March, Vale made Palace an offer, in order to sign the young midfielder permanently in the summer.[7] The next month, with Togwell and Vale agreed on personal terms, chairman Bill Bratt admitted that the two clubs were a long way from agreeing a deal, with Palace demanding a large sum in transfer fees.[8] The cash-strapped club were forced to abandon hope of signing Togwell, though handed him the club's "Young Player of The Year" award in recognition of his performances in his 30 games that season.[9]

His tenure at Palace did not last much longer, however, as he left for Barnsley in July 2006 for an undisclosed fee.[10] Togwell made his League debut for Barnsley on 5 August 2006, in a 2–1 defeat at Cardiff City. He made 46 appearances in 2006–07, including both Championship clashes with former club Palace, both of which finished 2–0 for the home side.

Battling with Bobby Hassell and new signing Anderson Silva de França for a first team place, he found life tough at Oakwell the next season. In all he played 27 games, three of which came in the club's impressive FA Cup run, which was ended by eventually runners-up Cardiff City in the semi-finals.

He joined Scunthorpe United on a free transfer in August 2008, signing a two year deal.[11] The young midfield battler was optimistic of the club's future, predicting promotion.[12] His prophecy was fulfilled at Wembley, as the Iron defeated Millwall 3–2 in the play-off final.

He remained a key member of Scunthorpe's first team in the Championship; making 47 appearances in 2009–10, he managed to bag a goal against his former employers at Selhurst Park in the process.[13]

Signing a new two year deal in June 2010,[14] Togwell recovered from a knee injury to make 40 appearances in the 2010–11 campaign.[15] However he could not prevent the Iron from finishing in last place and thereby suffer relegation back into League One.
