"I was looking at a few Championship options, and started talking with Leeds.
"I've worked with Snods [Leeds coach Glynn Snodin] before when he was at Charlton, and we won the reserve league, so I know all about him.
"I spoke to Frazer [Richardson] as well and he said that he never wanted to leave Leeds, and said a lot of good things about the club."
Sam joined up with his new team-mates for the first time at Friday's training session and will be part of the 22-man squad that travels to Slovakia on Saturday's for their pre-season tour.
"I'm hoping to get in the team and I hope we can be in and around the play-offs," he said.
