Christopher Samba

Veijeany Christopher Samba (born 28 March 1984), known as Christopher Samba, is a professional footballer who plays as a defender for Dynamo Moscow in the Russian Premier League. Born in France, he plays for the Congo national team.

Club career

Early career

Born in the Parisian suburb of Créteil, Samba began his career with French Ligue 2 club Sedan. After only three appearances, he was signed by Berlin-based club Hertha BSC of the German Bundesliga.

Hertha BSC

Samba only made 20 appearances during his time in Germany and desired a move elsewhere. Struggling to break into the Hertha first team, he was invited by Mark Hughes to undertake a five-day trial at Blackburn Rovers. In total for the German club in his three years there, he made approximately 28 appearances in all competitions, and was involved in eight UEFA Cup matches.

Blackburn Rovers

On 25 January 2007, Samba completed a transfer to Blackburn Rovers of the Premier League, signing a three-and-a-half year deal for £450,000 and taking the number 21 shirt. He made his Rovers debut against Luton Town in the FA Cup Fourth Round as a 69th-minute substitute for Ryan Nelsen, and his Premiership debut on 31 January against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in a 3–0 defeat. On 17 March, Samba scored his first goal for Blackburn against West Ham United with a header in the 47th minute, coming in the 1–2 defeat at Ewood Park. He then scored his second goal for Blackburn in a 3–1 victory over Watford at Ewood Park on 18 April, playing the full 90 minutes with Ryan Nelsen at the centre of defence. At the end of the 2006–07 season, he made 19 appearances, scoring two goals in 14 Premier League games.
