Samuel Adeniran

Early career

Adeniran began his soccer career playing in Houston area youth clubs, including Houston Texans and Houston Express. He played two seasons of high school varsity soccer at Cypress Christian School in Houston, scoring 21 goals in 18 games as a freshman and 31 goals in 23 games as a sophomore.

Liverpool FC Foundation College

When he has 16, Adeniran moved to England to attend the Liverpool FC Foundation College (now called the Steven Gerrard Academy) designed to develop football talent and progress in education. With the college's U19 team, he returned to Texas in 2016 to play in the Dallas Cup.

Belenenses

After his time at Liverpool FC Foundation College, Adeniran went to Portugal, where his brother was playing at the time. He signed for Belenenses and joined its U19 team. Adeniran played 4 games for the U19 team, scoring his lone goal in a 3–1 loss to Benfica's U19 team on April 1, 2017.

Leganés

Adeniran began his professional career by signing with Leganés B in Spain in January 2018. He would then go on a series of loans, never playing for the team before he departed it.

Chacarita Juniors

In January 2018, Adeniran's first loan, which began as a trial, was with Chacarita in Argentina Prima Division. During his preseason trial, he scored for both the first team and reserve team in friendlies. The loan became official for the 2018 Clausura, in which he became the first United States player on the team, was part of an initial player exchange with CD Leganes, which saw Lautaro Ruiz go to the Spanish team. The exchange was initiated by a minority owner of Leganes who sought to build an informal partnership between the teams. Adeniran's stint was with the reserve team and he made no first team appearances. On April 20, 2018, the Chacarita Juniors Board of Directors ended the player exchange and both players returned to their respective teams.

Guadalajara (Spain)

On July 1, 2018, after he returned to Spain, Adeniran was loaned to Guadalajara in the 4th tier of Spanish football. For the first time in his professional career, Samuel's brother, Ayodeji Adeniran, would later join him at the team yet not play in a game together. Samuel made his debut on August 26, 2018, in the team's 3–2 win over Azaqueca. He ultimately scored 7 goals in 13 games, with Leganes then ending his loan early so he could play in a higher division.
