Sam Daniel Saunders (born 29 August 1983) is an English professional football midfielder, currently playing for Wycombe Wanderers. He began his career in non-League football and in 2007 was part of the Dagenham & Redbridge side which was promoted to the Football League for the first time in the club's history and later made over 200 appearances for Brentford. He is a set piece specialist.
Saunders began his career at Charlton Athletic, spending five years in the club's youth setup at age 15. He spent a year in the academy at Fulham, but was unable to win a contract and dropped into non-League football when he signed for Southern League Premier Division side Welling United's youth team in the summer of 2000. While with Welling, Saunders returned to Fulham briefly to appear in a youth tournament in Marseilles, but was unable to win a scholarship deal. Saunders played sparingly for Welling before moving to Southern League Division One East side Ashford Town on 7 March 2002. Saunders moved to the Isthmian League Premier Division to join Carshalton Athletic in February 2004 and he helped the club to a seventh-place finish. After being allocated to the newly created Conference South, the Robins narrowly avoided relegation during Saunders' solitary full season on the club's the books.
