We are delighted to announce the signing of Tyrrell Sampson from AFC Stoneham.

The 25-year-old winger joins us after scoring an impressive 58 goals and registering 44 assists in all competitions over the last two seasons.

Sampson actually played for Poole as a teenager back in 2018 but only made a handful of appearances back then.

After departing the club, Sampson went on to sign for New Milton Town and subsequently AFC Stoneham where he enjoyed his best footballing spell, emphasised through his fantastic goal record.

After finding the back of the net on 34 occasions last season for a Stoneham side that narrowly missed out on promotion, Sampson has decided to return to Tatnam and sign for the upcoming season.

After signing with the club, he said: “As soon as Joe messaged me, I knew I wanted to be here so I’m really looking forward to next season and making the step up.”

He added: “I’m a direct and pacy winger that can play on the left or right, I like to create things so hopefully I can bring that to Poole and have a successful season.”

Joint-manager Joe Lea said: “He is someone that we’ve been aware of for a number of years and always been impressed by him.”

Lea added: “He is a player that we’ve also wanted to work with and when the opportunity presented itself, we jumped at the chance.”

“His goal record and goal contributions are outstanding at step five in a good Stoneham team so with hard work and a little bit of patience, we’re hoping he will flourish with us.”
