Samuel Morrow (born 3 March 1985), also known as Sam Morrow or Sammy Morrow, is a semi-professional football player from County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. He currently plays for Institute in the NIFL Championship.
Morrow, who was raised in Limavady, County Londonderry, started as a youth at Institute.
He began his professional career at Ipswich Town where he made his debut as an 18-year-old in a Carling Cup match versus Notts County. He had a short loan spell during the 2003-04 season to Boston United before leaving the club without any league appearances.
In the summer of 2004, Tony Mowbray signed Morrow for Hibernian, having known him from his time as the Ipswich assistant manager. Morrow only started five league matches in his first season with Hibs, but proved to be useful as a substitute, scoring goals in wins against Dundee and Dundee United.
Morrow was loaned to Livingston during the 2005–06 season which proved very successful, with goals against Hearts and Dundee Utd. Gary Waddock, then Queens Park Rangers manager along with his assistant Alan McDonald wanted to bring Morrow south of the border and a deal was close to completion when disaster struck with him suffering cruciate ligament damage in April 2006. This was also a major blow to Morrow as he was already named in the full Northern Ireland squad to face Romania and Uruguay that summer.
He started a further loan spell, with Partick Thistle, in March 2007 to help aid his comeback from the long term injury.
