Marcello Edward Dennis Sampson (born 27 March 1987 in Cape Town) is a South African rugby union player, currently playing as a winger with Western Province.
He started his career with Western Province in underage competitions, playing for them in the Under-19 Provincial Championship in 2006 and the Under-21 Provincial Championship in 2008 and 2009.
He also represented the UCT Ikey Tigers in the Varsity Cup competition in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
He was named in the Western Province senior squad for the 2009 Vodacom Cup, but was never included in a matchday squad.
In 2011, he joined the Eastern Province Kings. He made his first class debut during the 2011 Vodacom Cup competition, starting in the Kings' 31–25 victory against the Leopards. He made six starts in total, scoring two tries.
His Currie Cup debut came in the EP Kings' opening day match in the 2011 Currie Cup First Division against SWD Eagles. He had his most prolific season in Kings colours, scoring nine tries in just seven starts, to finish joint fifth in the try scoring charts for the competition. This included a brace of tries in their Round Two match against the Border Bulldogs and a hat-trick in their very next match against the Griffons.
He made nineteen starts during 2012, weighing in with a further eight tries. In addition to playing Super Rugby for the Kings in 2013, he made a further four appearances for the EP Kings in the 2013 Currie Cup First Division season. However, he announced towards the end of the season that he would be leaving the Port Elizabeth-based team.
