Farnham Town are delighted to announce that striker Sam Evans has signed a new one-year contract extension with the Club running until the May 2027.
Sam was a late addition to our Isthmian South Central title-winning squad last season after joining from Slough Town for an undisclosed fee in March, but made an instant impact scoring twice in four appearances to close out the campaign.
After being awarded the No.9 shirt for the 2025/26 campaign, the 23-year-old has been an important focal point to the attack throughout the season, netting 14 goals and contributing six assists in 44 appearances this season, averaging fewer than 100 minutes of action for each goal involvement in his Farnham Town career.
“In my view, Sam has all the ability and potential to develop into a future Football League level player,” manager Paul Johnson said.
“Since he’s been with us, he’s been in and out of the team with little niggles here and there, but when he’s been fit and firing, he’s had a huge impact for us, as shown this season with his goal return.
“I’m expecting a big season from Sam next year and I’m looking forward to continuing to work with him.”
Chairman Harry Hugo adds: “As the first player bought for a transfer fee in Farnham Town history, we saw the potential for growth that a player like Sam has, but needed the platform in order to do so.
“Over the last 12 months, Sam has continued to flash that potential while being a key asset in our attack. He’s got a rare combination of size, speed and strength and can be a ruthless finisher. He’s a total handful for opposing defenders.
“He’s of a great age and still has plenty of room to grow, and we’re thrilled that he’ll continue to do so at Farnham Town.”
Still an ascending player, Sam is someone we look forward to seeing continue their development at The Memorial Ground for the foreseeable future. He joins Bobby-Joe Taylor, Ryan Kinnane, Owen Dean, Jack Dean, Dan Bayliss and Michael Eacott in all being under contract for the 2026/27 campaign.
