Dayon Sambou

The younger brother of former Saint Jumah Sambou, Dayon’s journey with St.Helens began at the age of fourteen with our Under 16s Scholarship programme where he developed for the first two years before joining the Academy.

As a strong and speedy outside back, Dayon has made the centre spot his own in his Academy years, especially in 2023; getting named in both the Lancashire and England Academy squads. Taking a further step up, he has also played for our Reserves side during that time too.

Dayon shined brightly in the Red V’s run to the Academy Championship title in 2023, with some incredibly skilful assists to his outside winger in both the Semi and Grand Final fixtures.
