Sam Mvemba and Leo Hambin become Robins

Two new recruits for Carshalton Athletic- both at full back


Carshalton Athletic have announced the signing of Sam Mvemba and Leo Hamblin.

Full back Sam ended last season with Brightlingsea Regent, where he played seven times. He was previously with Aveley, Bishop's Stortford, Welling United and Romford.

Sam made thirty seven appearances for the Millers during the 2019-20 season, making the number three shirt his own and playing an enormous part in their run to the Quarter Finals of the FA Trophy and their climb to second place in the North Division. That followed forty two appearances in 2018-19, as the club got to the Semi-Finals of the playoffs.

He then moved over to Stortford in the summer of 2020, made thirteen appearances, and was a vital part of their run to the FA Cup First Round during the 20-21 campaign, before climbing a level to Welling United where our season came to an early end. He spent a large part of last season suffering from injury prior to his Regent spell.

Leo, also a full back, came through the Academy setup at Woking. Whilst a Card he had a series of loan spells to gain experience, and turned out for Farnborough, Hartley Wintney and, most recently, National League South side Hampton and Richmond Borough. He has also played with some success for Woking in the National League.
