BIO:
Simon has etched his mark as one of the world’s premier strikers after making his debut in 2005 as a 16-year-old. He is often used as an impact player where his unbelievable stick skills can be put to devastating effect on tiring defences. Simon has very high expectations of himself and leaves everything he’s got out on the turf. Despite still being among the youngest in the squad, he has already eclipsed the 100 cap milestone.
