Club career
Early career
Samy started his career at El Khatib Football Academy, after playing well and showing great discipline in the Pepsi Schools League. Before participating in the Pepsi Schools League he had a trial with Egyptian giants Al Ahly youth team, but failed to pass all tests because of an injury. After staying with El Khatib Football Academy for almost 4 years, he was signed by Al Nasr at the age of 15.
Al Nasr
Samy played 2 seasons with the
Telephonat Beni Suef
On 1 July 2012, Samy was transferred to newly-promoted team Telephonat Beni Suef. This was considered as the first season for the club at the Egyptian Premier League, because after the club gained promotion to the 2011–12 Egyptian Premier League by winning the 2010–11 Egyptian Second Division, the season was suspended in February 2012 and all league results were halted due to the incidents that occurred during the Port Said Stadium riot.[3]
The next season, 2011–12 Egyptian Premier League, wasn't much different; as the Egyptian Premier League, alongside all other sport-related activities in Egypt, were cancelled and all results were halted in July 2013 for security reasons due to the 2013 Egyptian coup d'état.[4]
Things became a bit stable
Misr Lel Makkasa
On 3 August 2014,
Samy maintained his first-eleven place for the
Samy played only 24 league matches in the 2016–17 Egyptian Premier League season due to suspension and a foot injury; but he maintained his good performance in both centre-back and defensive midfielder positions and helped his club to finish the league in the 2nd place and to qualify for the 2018 CAF Champions League for the first time in the club history. Al Ahly made a bid for Samy at the end of the season, but the club refused the offer and renewed his contract.[8]
On 3 March 2017, during Misr Lel Makkasa and Zamalek league match, Samy made controversies after he cleared a cross from a free-kick with his hand. All Zamalek players ran to the referee asking for a penalty, but the international referee Gehad Grisha didn't give it because he didn't see it and gave a corner instead. The match ended as a 1–0 win for Misr Lel Makkasa.[9]
Samy was announced as the club's new captain for the 2017–18 Egyptian Premier League season, after spending more than 3 years with the club. Many important players left Misr Lel Makkasa after the club announced the departure of coach Ehab Galal, as left the club by mutual consent; players including top goalscorer Ahmed El Sheikh, playmakers Hussein El Shahat and Emad Fathy and goalkeeper Ahmed Masoud; which led to instability in the team.
On 30 December 2017, Samy alongside other players from the Egyptian Premier League and other Arab leagues played for Al Ahly against Atlético Madrid in a friendly match under the slogan "Peace Against Terrorism" at Borg El Arab Stadium in Alexandria. The match ended 3–2 for Atlético Madrid.[10]
Tala'ea El Gaish (loan)
Samy joined Tala'ea El Gaish on loan for two years.
Pyramids
In November 2020, Samy signed for Pyramids on a four-year deal.[11]
