In 2012–2013, Samuel signed with PDRM FA in the Malaysia Premier League, and later on transferred to Nakhon Pathom United for the 2013–14 season in the Thai Division 1 League.

Style of play
editSamuel is generally deployed as a forward, more often on the wing, and takes a more attacking role than a typical midfielder. He possesses good ball control and dribbling which, coupled with short, fast bursts of pace, lead him to be considered a very direct player. Playing from the left allows him to cut in onto his favored right foot to shoot. In a 4–4–2 formation, Samuel can take on a more central role.
