Club career

Son of former Jamaican international, Fitzroy Simpson,[3] Simpson joined local side Swindon Town at the age of six in 2004 and signed his first professional contract in March 2017 along with Scott Twine and Tommy Ouldridge.[4] Five days after signing his first professional contract, Simpson featured as an unused substitute during Swindon's 4–2 home defeat against Sheffield United.[5]

Following the appointment of David Flitcroft, Simpson was free to leave Swindon and in July 2017, he joined newly promoted Forest Green Rovers on a two-year deal.[6] On 1 September 2017, Simpson joined National League South side Hungerford Town on a short-term loan.[7] A day later, he made his debut in their 2–0 home victory over Concord Rangers, replacing Louie Soares in the 69th minute.[8] Simpson went onto feature eight more times before returning to Forest Green in November 2017.

Following a loan spell at Hungerford, Simpson made his Forest Green debut in their 2–0 home defeat against Luton Town, playing the full 90 minutes.[9]

On 6 September 2018, Simpson joined National League side, Havant & Waterlooville on a one-month loan[10] and made his debut during a 3–2 defeat to Harrogate Town two days later.[11]
