Samson Lawal, born on the 25th of April, 2004 in Nigeria, is a twenty-one-year-old midfielder currently impressing in the heart of Livingston's midfield. Standing at a modest 5ft 7in (1.71m) and weighing in at 10st 3lb (65kg), Lawal's stature is embellished by his energetic performances in the centre of the park. Donning the number 40 shirt, he has quickly become a recognisable figure to the Livingston faithful.
Lawal's current market value, according to Transfermarkt, is estimated to be around £130k.
Lawal made his debut for Livingston in Scotland during the 2023-2024 season, where he was granted two opportunities to strut his stuff in the first team. The same season saw the tenacious midfielder turning out for Inverness CT, where he made nine appearances. Despite the shifting allegiance, Lawal's commitment remained undeterred.
Following his stint at Inverness, Lawal returned to Livingston for the 2024-2025 season, earning two more first-team appearances. He has continued to feature in the current 2025-2026 season, already making one first-team appearance. It's evident that Lawal's journey in Scottish football, despite its early stages, is proving fruitful and he has succeeded in making an impression on the pitch.
