As a youth he played for Finchley Revolution before moving to Alexandra Park. He then moved to Hendon where he decided to focus on a career in football.

In 2017 while with the club he competed in a tournament in Portugal against local teams including C.S. Marítimo at age 17.

During his stint with the club he went on to make one appearance in 2018 CAF Champions League qualification against Young Africans of Tanzania in addition to league matches.[6][7] By May 2018 he had returned to England re-joined Ware FC.[8] By July 2019 Simeon returned to the Seychelles League with Northern Dynamos.[9][10]
