Career

No transfer history

Samuel Gidi is FC Cincinnati's Bronze-tier Engine. The 22-year-old midfielder, born in Accra and arriving from MSK Zilina in late 2025, is steadily building his body of work in the United States. Still early in his overseas journey, he is proving to be a highly dedicated runner in the centre of the park.

Operating with a limited but emerging sample size of just 315 minutes across five appearances, Gidi is maintaining a consistent level for his side. His standout trait lies in his robust Defense, breaking up opposition play and covering ground tirelessly from box to box. While he has yet to register a goal or an assist this season, his true value is measured in tactical disruptions and structural discipline rather than pure attacking output. As an emerging talent still finding his permanent footing in the starting eleven, he has featured as a key contributor in one of his five outings. The underlying metrics reflect a highly specialized player whose defensive edge gives the team much-needed midfield stability whenever his number is called.

With a market valuation holding steady at €2M, the young midfielder is a solid investment for the future. As he continues to adapt to the physical demands of the league, Cincinnati will hope to see his tactical influence grow alongside his undeniable work rate.
