Sampson would later play in the lower divisions for Panegialios F.C. and Fostiras F.C., before returning to Kalamata for the 2003–04 Greek second division season.[4]

Sampson joined Swedish side Assyriska Föreningen in 2004. He would help the club earn promotion to the Allsvenskan and play in the league the following season.[5] Assyriska loaned Sampson to Bodens BK for the 2008 season,[6] and he would later join Boden on a permanent transfer in 2010.
