Club career
[edit]Millwall
[edit]Sammoutis joined the Millwall academy at the age of 15, and went on to play for the Under-18s and Under-21s. In March 2013, he was released after failing to be offered a professional contract.[1] Sammoutis trained with Isthmian Premier Division club Margate in pre-season following his departure.
Metropolitan Police
[edit]In August 2013, Sammoutis joined Isthmian Premier Division side Metropolitan Police. He made his senior debut in a 2–1 defeat at Enfield Town on 10 August, and went on to make six appearances for the club.[2]
Margate
[edit]Sammoutis joined league rivals Margate, alongside former Millwall teammate Daniel Newman, in September 2013.[3] He scored his first senior goal in a 2–1 defeat against Bury Town on 12 October. A week later, he scored two goals in a 9–4 FA Trophy win at Wroxham. In June 2014, Sammoutis left Margate by mutual consent in order to return to Cyprus of personal reasons.[4]
AC Omonia
[edit]In August 2014, Sammoutis joined Cypriot First Division club AC Omonia.[5] Scoring the only goal in a 1–0 pre-season victory at Nea Salamis Famagusta, he marked his league debut with an assist in the final minute to earn a 1–0 victory against Othellos Athienou.[6] Sammoutis made a total of five appearances for the club, into two Cypriot Cup fixtures.[7]
Walton Casuals
[edit]In July 2015, Sammoutis returned to England and joined Isthmian Division One South club Walton Casuals two months later.[8] He scored eight times in 33 appearances in his inaugural season, and was rewarded with a trial at League Two club Barnet in March 2016.[9] After returning for a second trial in the summer, he spent pre-season with National League side Bromley, but committed to Walton Casuals for the 2016–17 season.[10]
Greenwich Borough
[edit]Sammoutis completed a move to league rivals Greenwich Borough in May 2017.[11] Making his debut in a 1–1 draw with Whyteleafe on the opening day of the season, he scored his first goal for the club in a 4–1 Kent Senior Cup win at Ramsgate a week later.[12][13] On 28 August, he scored a brace in a 3–0 win against Phoenix Sports.[14] Sammoutis was dismissed for the first time in his senior career during a 4–0 win against Guernsey on 23 December.[15]
Walton Casuals
[edit]In February 2018, Sammoutis rejoined league rivals Walton Casuals. On 17 February 2018, he made his debut in a 2–1 win against South Park – the same opponent and scoreline from his debut for the club. A week later he scored his first goal since returning to the club in a 3–2 defeat to Whyteleafe and added another in the subsequent 2–2 draw with Guernsey. On 17 April, he completed the scoring in a 2–0 win at Shoreham.
Named as a substitute in the Isthmian League South Division Play-Off Semi-Final, Sammoutis came off the bench and scored the final goal of a 5–2 victory in the 90th minute. He was then rewarded with a start in the Play-Off Final at Corinthian-Casuals as his team went on to secure promotion with a penalty shoot-out.
On 15 May, Sammoutis announced he would not return for the club for the 2018–19 season, citing the league restructuring and unfeasible travel times in a new division.
Hythe Town
[edit]In May 2018, he joined Isthmian League South East Division club Hythe Town.[16]
Greenwich Borough
[edit]On 14 March 2019, he returned to fellow South East Division club Greenwich Borough.[17]
Cray Valley Paper Mills
[edit]He joined Cray Valley Paper Mills during the summer of 2019. He also plays for Sunday league club SE Dons alongside Zak Ansah.[18]
International
[edit]Sammoutis began his international career in November 2012, when he made his first appearance for Cyprus at Under-19 level in a European Championship qualifier. He went on to make a further four appearances at youth level.[19]
Personal
[edit]Sammoutis is part of the Sport on Screen agency, founded by former professional footballer Andy Ansah. In February 2016, he was part of filming for a Nike advert ahead of the 2016 European Championships.[20] The advert, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, was released in June 2016.[21]
