He was given a 6-month contract extension in summer 2022, to help him recover from his injury. He played 45 minutes in the first pre-season game away at Melksham Town in summer 2022, as well as against Swansea City, and he travelled with the first team squad to their Portugal camp and was involved in the squad for the first game of the season. Sam has been on loan again to Southern League Premier side, North Leigh, prior to Christmas 2022 and his release from Bristol Rovers
