played for Middlesex until the end of the 2004 domestic cricket season where he established himself in both the one-day and championship sides.
During the early period of his career Simon partnered with Angus Fraser as Middlesex’s new ball bowlers. Unfortunately Simon’s appearances in 2000 were limited to just seven as a result of shin splints and stress fractures. However he made a successful recovery and recorded his best return of 8 for 63 against Northampton two years later, and 50 first class wickets for the season
Simon continued to take wickets for Middlesex and, in 2004, took 39 wickets in the National League, equalling Adam Hollioake’s record. At the end of the 2004 season he signed a two-year contract with Kent.
Since joining Kent Simon has been a regular in the side, which is currently captained by Rob Key. He usually takes the new ball and is occasionally called upon to act as night watchman.
