Samuels started his career with Burnley where he made just two league starts before he added another 12 at Exeter City scoring his first league goal. He moved to Wrexham and Crewe Alexandra before he moved to Bradford City in December 1955. It was at Bradford where he spent the longest part of his career, making 84 appearances and scoring 38 goals.
