Club career

He was added to the Mariners' squad in the week leading up to their 2006 Pre-Season Cup play-off against Newcastle Jets. Simon was then brought back to the squad after Nik Mrdja suffered a heel injury before the round 19 clash against Newcastle. He starred for the Central Coast Lightning during their 2006 NSW Winter Super League campaign. Simon had a solid 07-08 season with the Mariners despite not scoring any goals. In the first league game for the 08-09 season Simon immediately broke his duck and scored off a header that would prove to be the start of his wonderful season.

After a successful 08-09 season, in January 2009, He was offered a 2 year contract by Major League Soccer club Colorado Rapids but turned it down citing his preference to remain in Australia with the possibility of playing in Europe in the future. Later in the year, he extended his contract with Central Coast Mariners, staying with the club until 2012.[1]

International career

Following a brilliant display for the Olyroos in the Intercontinental Cup, including a hat-trick against the Republic of Ireland in the semi-finals,[2] Simon received a call-up to the Australian National Team by manager Pim Verbeek for the World Cup Qualifiers against Iraq.[3]
