Lloyd Sam is nearing the 20 goals and 20 assists mark with the Red Bulls. After tallying 10 goals and seven assists in 2015, Sam has totaled 19 goals and 18 assists in his four seasons with New York.

Sam’s successful 2015 season included one MLS Goal of the Year nominee as he proved to be the Red Bulls’ most precise attacking threat. The midfielder led the team in scoring percentage with 10 goals from 32 shots (31.3%) and landed the highest percentage of shots on goal with 20 (62.5%).
