Samuel Harry Fielding (born 2 November 1998) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Hyde United on loan from Spennymoor Town.
Born in York, Fielding began his career with York City, and made his debut on 8 October 2016 against Braintree Town, playing 90 minutes in a 1–1 draw.[1] He made a second appearance the following week in a FA Cup qualifying game against Curzon Ashton.[2] He was praised for his mentality and described by the York Press as "one for the future",[3] and was offered a new contract at the end of the season.[4] but made the move to fellow Yorkshire side Barnsley. He signed a contract extension with Barnsley in 2019,[5] but was released a year later.[6]
He signed for EFL League Two side Salford City in September, and made his début for the club on 29 September in the EFL Trophy against Morecambe. He was an 85th-minute substitute for James Wilson as Salford City won 2–0.[7] At the end of the 2020–21 season, it was announced that he would be leaving the club.[8]
Following his release from Salford, he returned to National League North side York City, following a successful trial period.[9]
On 22 January 2022, Fielding signed an 18-month contract with National League North side Bradford (Park Avenue).[10]
Following Bradford (Park Avenue)'s relegation at the end of the 2022–23, Fielding remained in the National League North with Spennymoor Town.[11] In March 2024, he joined Northern Premier League Premier Division club Hyde United on loan until the end of the season.[12]
