England Youth international Sam Byles played for England’s Under 16s in late 2007 in the Victory Shield a tournament shown live on Skysports, his excellent performances at left back as well as right back earned him rave reviews.
Byles has been with Arsenal since the age of nine when he was spotted playing for Cuffley under-eights, and received the national call-up after impressing during England trials at Burton in August 2007.
Very quick and with a love to get forward he can play in a whole host of positions, all across the back four, to all across the midfield, adding power and energy to the team, he is also great on crossing, being able to use both feet with ease.
Dad Dean Byles confirmed to the Hertfordshire Mercury Sam has developed significantly since linking up with Arsenal saying:
“He’s had a great time at Arsenal and his game has come on leaps and bounds.
“The coaches there are excellent and it’s great experience for him. We’re just enjoying it while we can and making the most of the chance. Then we’ll see what happens.”
In January 2008 Sam signed scholarship terms with Arsenal, and will be looking to push on and play Undeer 18’s football after having a brief taste this term.

Something you might know about the set-up at Arsenal: Do these kids get any book learning? How well does arsenal look after their intellectual development? Let’s assume they don’t make it: Could they land a place at a university, assuming they have that potential?
at Hale End, they get taught, whilst they are on scholarship deals they still go to colleges to get extra learning.
They only stop going to colleges when they sign pro deals, and become full time training
I saw him play for the England U16’s team last year and he did not realy stand out that much at right back mabey he was far too nervous on the day, unlike say Fulham’s Keanu Marsh-Brown who did look like a potential top class attacking right back IMO
