ABOUT SAM

Sam Hudson is an individual development coach at Newcastle United, where he works with academy players in the club’s full-time training programme across multiple age groups.

Hudson has significant English academy experience, having spent a season at Cardiff City as academy performance analyst and age group coach, three seasons as an academy coach at Burton Albion, working across the foundation and youth development phases, four seasons working across the same phases as an academy coach at Derby County, and a season as a youth development age group coach at Aston Villa.

Hudson’s move to Newcastle in July 2026 was preceded by four years at Portsmouth, initially joining the academy as the U18 assistant head coach.

He spent eight months in the role before being promoted to the head coach job.

He has also coached in the US, with time spent as a camp director and coach for Midwest Soccer Academy, soccer academy coach at the Walt Disney Company, and coach for the New Jersey Soccer Group, where he led the U17 Elite Development Programme team.

Hudson holds the UEFA A licence and the FA Advanced Youth Award (specialising in the professional development phase) and has a bachelor’s degree in sports coaching and performance.

He completed the Elite Soccer Coaching Award, alongside colleagues at Portsmouth, in spring 2026.
