Career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

McCallum was born in Canterbury, Kent[4] and grew up in the nearby seaside town of Herne Bay. He attended Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys in Canterbury. McCallum started his career at non-League club Herne Bay before moving to League One club Coventry City in August 2018 after being at Jamie Vardy's V9 Academy.[5][6]

In November 2018, he made his debut in an EFL Trophy defeat against Cheltenham Town coming on as an 81st minute substitute for Brandon Mason.[7]

McCallum broke through into the Coventry first team and made a total of 35 appearances and scoring three goals.[citation needed]

Norwich City

[edit]

On 31 January 2020, McCallum signed for Norwich City for a reported fee of £3,500,000 and was immediately loaned back to Coventry until the end of the season. Norwich signed McCallum amid interest from other Premier League teams such as Liverpool and Leicester City.[8][9]

On 20 September 2020, McCallum was loaned to Coventry for the 2020–21 season for his third spell with the club.

On 12 July 2021, McCallum again returned to the Championship, joining Queens Park Rangers on loan for the duration of the 2021–22 season.[10] He scored his first goal for QPR against Bournemouth on 14 September 2021.[11]

Sheffield United

[edit]

On the 11th of July 2024, it was announced that Sam had signed for Championship rivals and recently relegated Sheffield United.[12]
