Sammy Solitaire Siddharta Skytte (born 20 February 1997) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for HB Tórshavn in the Faroe Islands Premier League.
Skytte started playing football at Silkeborg KFUM at the age of 8, before signing a youth contract in 2012 with Silkeborg IF.
Skytte is a product of Silkeborg IF and has played for the club since he was a kid. Skytte signed his first senior contract 12 August 2015, at the age of 18, after sitting on the bench for the first team in a game against Lyngby BK.[1]
Skytte got his debut for Silkeborg IF on 22 September 2015.[2] Though his young age, he played 5 matches in the rest of the season in the Danish 1st Division. Skytte suffered from a shoulder injury in May 2016 and went through an operation, that kept him out for the rest of the season.[3]
From the summer 2016, Skytte started to play on full-time with the rest of the squad, after completing his school. His contract got extended in December 2016 until 2019.[4] This extension emphasized his important role on the team.
FC Midtjylland announced the signing of Skytte on a five-year contract, on 13 June 2018.[5] Skytte was immediately loaned out to AC Horsens. Silkeborg IF later revealed, that FCM had triggered his purchase clause that was set to 3.7 million danish krone.[6]
On 8 July 2019, Skytte was loaned out to Norwegian club Stabæk Fotball.[7]
Without making a single appearance for Midtjylland, the club confirmed on 25 February 2020, that Skytte had signed a 5-year contract with Norwegian club FK Bodø/Glimt.[8]
On 11 September 2020, Skytte returned to Stabæk, which he played for on loan in 2019. Skytte signed a contract until the end of 2023.[9] After 45 official appearances and three goals for Stabæk, the club announced on 31 March 2022, that Skytte's contract had been terminated by mutual consent.[10]
In March 2024, Skytte signed a contract with HB Tórshavn.[11]
