Samuel Elliott Cartwright (born 8 July 2000) is an English footballer who plays as a defender for Spalding United.

Career

Cartwright signed his first professional contract in October 2017. Grant McCann stated "Sam is an excellent young centre half. He has taken my eye since I returned to the club, I have watched his progress through the age groups. He played a few games in pre-season and has been out on-loan at a variety of different clubs to get experience. He is someone that I believe has got a good future here."^[2] The defender has had multiple loan spells, including at St Ives Town^[3] and Kettering Town.^[4] The defender made two senior appearances for the club in 2019 in the EFL Trophy, once against Arsenal Under-21s and once against Cambridge United.^[5]

On 25 September 2020, Cartwright agreed to join National League club Woking on a short-term loan.^[6]

On 11 May 2021 it was announced that he would leave Peterborough at the end of his contract.^[7]

On 8 September 2021, Cartwright joined Spalding United,^[8] following a short-term spell back with St Ives Town.^[9]
