Jack Benjamin Simpson (born 18 December 1996)[2] is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for Rangers. He has previously played for AFC Bournemouth.
Club career[]
AFC Bournemouth[]
Simpson joined AFC Bournemouth at the age of twelve[4] and signed his first professional contract in April 2015.[5] Following this, he had a brief loan spell at non-League club AFC Totton during the early stages of the 2015–16 campaign[6] before returning to Bournemouth and appearing as a substitute in their FA Cup fourth round tie against Portsmouth.[7]
Almost two years after first appearing in a Bournemouth matchday squad, Simpson made his first-team debut in an EFL Cup tie against Middlesbrough, scoring the opening goal in their 3–1 victory.[8] Following his debut, Simpson went onto feature in Bournemouth's quarter-final tie against Premier League champions Chelsea, playing for the full 90 minutes in their 2–1 defeat.
Rangers[]
On 28 January 2021, Simpson signed a pre-contract agreement to join Scottish Premiership club Rangers following the expiry of his Bournemouth contract at the end of the 2020–21 season.[9] A deal was then made with Bournemouth that allowed Simpson to move permanently on 1 February 2021.[10] He made his debut for Rangers in a Scottish Premiership match against Dundee United on 21 February 2021, coming for Filip Helander as a 67th minute substitute.[11]
International career[]
Simpson was part of the English national team youth sides during the early part of his career and made an appearance for the under-21 side in November 2018. He played the full ninety minutes in defence, during a 5–1 away win against Denmark under-21s.[12]
