Career
Cartwright signed his first professional contract in October 2017. Grant McCann stated "Sam is an excellent young centre half. He has taken my eye since I returned to the club, I have watched his progress through the age groups. He played a few games in pre-season and has been out on-loan at a variety of different clubs to get experience. He is someone that I believe has got a good future here." The defender has had multiple loan spells, including at St Ives Town and Kettering Town. The defender made two senior appearances for the club in 2019 in the EFL Trophy, once against Arsenal Under-21s and once against Cambridge United.
