Samuel San José Fernández (born 1 March 1984 in Santander, Cantabria), known simply as Samuel or Samu for short, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Mexican club Atlético San Luis as a defender.
Club career
A product of hometown Racing de Santander's youth system, Samuel first appeared for its main squad on 11 September 2005, in a 0–1 home loss against Cádiz CF. He finished the season with seven appearances (all but one were complete matches) and four yellow cards, as the Cantabria side finished 17th in La Liga and narrowly avoided relegation.
After having served one season-long loan stint with Sporting de Gijón in the second division, Samuel returned to Racing but, midway through the 2007–08 campaign, would be loaned again, alongside teammate Christián Fernández, to second level strugglers UD Las Palmas. Both would be instrumental in helping the Canarians retain their league status.
Subsequently, Christian returned to Santander but Samuel stayed, signing for three years with the option for a further one.[1] He appeared in an average of 23 games in the following three division two seasons, with the club always managing to stay afloat.
