Ishé Barrington Samuels-Smith (born 6 June 2006) is an English footballer who plays as a left-back or left wing-back for Swansea City on loan from Premier League club Chelsea.
Club career Born in Manchester, Samuels-Smith joined the academy of Everton at the age of nine. He progressed through the academy, and in September 2022 was named by English newspaper The Guardian as the best player of his age group at Everton. On 8 November of the same year, then-manager Frank Lampard named Samuels-Smith on the bench as Everton faced AFC Bournemouth in the third round of the EFL Cup. Following Lampard's sacking in January 2023, new manager Sean Dyche would call Samuels-Smith up to the bench again in April of the same year, though he again failed to feature as Everton lost 3–1 to Fulham.
Having initially been linked with Samuels-Smith in July 2022, fellow Premier League club Chelsea were reported to have agreed a three-year deal with Samuels-Smith in July 2023, with a £4 million bid made. This deal was later officially confirmed on 8 July 2023.
On 30 July 2025, Samuels-Smith joined Ligue 1 club Strasbourg on a permanent transfer.
On 2 September 2025, it was announced that Samuel-Smith had returned to Chelsea permanently, before joining Championship club Swansea City on a season-long loan.
