Soon appearing as one of the most promising prospects of the [Britannic](/source/Brittany) academy, he was even very close to joining [Lorient](/source/FC_Lorient) as an under-14, if not for a serious thigh injury. Loric became a regular starter with [Vannes OC](/source/Vannes_OC) first team as a 17 years old in the [Championnat National 3](/source/2017%E2%80%9318_Championnat_National_3), after he made his debut against [Pontivy](/source/GSI_Pontivy) in 2017, during a 2–0 [Coupe de France](/source/2017%E2%80%9318_Coupe_de_France) win.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":3">{{Cite web|date=24 November 2017|title=Samuel Loric : " On ne va rien lâcher !

For the following season, as his side had been promoted to the [Championnat National 2](/source/2018%E2%80%9319_Championnat_National_2), the young defender played an even bigger role helping Vannes avoid relegation.<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":2" /> He scored his first goal on 19 January 2019, as the Vannetais smashed [Paris Saint-Germain](/source/Paris_Saint-Germain_F.C.)

=== Professional contract in Lorient ===
On the last day of January 2019, Samuel Loric signed his first professional contract with [FC Lorient](/source/FC_Lorient), before being loaned back to [Vannes](/source/Vannes_OC) until the end of the [National 2 season](/source/2018%E2%80%9319_Championnat_National_2).<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":2" /><ref>{{Cite web|date=30 January 2019|title=FC Lorient.

But after a season where he mainly played with Lorient reserve in [National 2](/source/2019%E2%80%9320_Championnat_National_2), while [Vincent Le Goff](/source/Vincent_Le_Goff) retained the spot on the left of the defense in their [2019–20 Ligue 2 winning campaign](/source/2019%E2%80%9320_Ligue_2), Loric was loaned to [US Avranches](/source/US_Avranches) for the [2020–21 National season](/source/2020%E2%80%9321_Championnat_National).<ref name=":6" /><ref>{{Cite web|date=6 June 2020|title=Samuel Loric prêté à Avranches|url=https://fclweb.fr/samuel-loric-prete-a-avranches/|access-date=29 November 2021|website=[FC Lorient](/source/FC_Lorient)|language=fr-FR}}</ref> Despite a season with ups and downs for the [Norman](/source/Normandy) club,<ref>{{Cite web|last=Rey|first=Aurélien|date=13 March 2021|title=Football : l'US Avranches battue dans les toutes dernières minutes à Annecy|url=https://actu.fr/sports/football/football-l-us-avranches-battue-dans-les-toutes-dernieres-minutes-a-annecy_40207462.html|access-date=29 November 2021|website=[La Presse de la Manche](/source/La_Presse_de_la_Manche)|language=fr}}</ref> the young left-back was one of the standout players of his team,<ref>{{Cite web|date=18 December 2020|title=Joueur du mois de novembre ⋆ US Avranches Mont-Saint-Michel|url=https://us-avranches.fr/national/joueur-du-mois/joueur-du-mois-de-novembre/|access-date=29 November 2021|website=[US Avranches Mont-Saint-Michel](/source/US_Avranches_Mont-Saint-Michel)|language=fr-FR}}</ref> notably scoring a goal and delivering an assist in the two [Normandy](/source/Normandy) {{ill|Normandy Derby|fr|Rivalités dans le football en Normandie|lt=derbies}} against [Quevilly-Rouen](/source/US_Quevilly-Rouen).<ref name=":6" />
