Samuel George Frederick Habergham (born 20 February 1992) is an English footballer who plays for EFL League One club Lincoln City as a left back.

Club career

Habergham joined the Norwich City youth academy at the age of seven. He was promoted to the first team in 2009 which was managed by Bryan Gunn.[2] In 2011, he joined Tamworth where he managed to make 35 appearances for the club.[3]

In the summer of 2011, Habergham was released by Norwich City.[4] Subsequently he joined Football Conference club Braintree Town along with former Canary player Josh Dawkin. He was signed by the club as a replacement for Aswad Thomas who left Braintree for Grimsby Town. The club manager Alan Devonshire said that he was impressed by Habergham when he watched him play for Tamworth the previous season.[5]

In 2015–2016 season, Habergham was a part of the Braintree squad that reached the promotion play-offs only to be defeated by Grimsby in the semi-final. At the end of the season, he rejected a contract extension proposal by the club.[6] He instead signed a two year contract with Lincoln City.[7] He won the National League with the club in his first season and won promotion to EFL League Two.[8]

Habergham made his debut in the 2017–2018 season in an EFL Trophy match against Mansfield Town of EFL League Two replacing Neal Eardley in the squad.[9] Habergham would win the EFL Trophy that season with Lincoln City on the clubs first ever trip to Wembley.

International career

Habergham was called to the England under 17 team for 2009 UEFA European Under-17 Championship. He played once in the tournament, in a group stage defeat against Turkey. He has also played for the England C twice in 2016.[10]
