imon (born September 3rd) is a Danish Sri Lankan born semi-professional footballer, who is known for his pace, speed, and scoring ability with both feet. He was schooled as a striker at Silkeborg IF and played for their feeder club, Silkeborg Boldklub until a severe knee injury at the age of 19 ended his professional football career. He then moved to Copenhagen where he worked as a bartender and played football for Kastrup Boldklub, a club in the lower leagues of Denmark.

Despite being relatively short at 168 cm, Simon made up for his lack of height with his pace and skill on the field. He played in the lower leagues of Denmark, reaching as high as the 4th Division, Danmarksserien.

In 2011, Simon moved to Malta to work as a telemarketer and continued to play football in the Company Leagues. He gained recognition for his talent and quickly signed his first semi-professional contract with Sliema Wanderes. He stayed with Sliema until 2015, when he transferred to Gzira United. He played in the UEFA Cup and managed to win several trophies in Malta.

In 2017, Simon moved to Bray in Ireland and started playing for Bray Wanderes in the Irish 1st Division. However, he retired from football in 2018 due to another injury that kept him out for 8 months.

Currently, Simon is studying to obtain his UEFA Coaching badges and currently holds a UEFA B License. He has expressed his dream of someday managing one of his two heart clubs, Silkeborg IF or Chelsea FC.

Aside from football, Simon is a certified cocktail bartender and has worked and managed several high-profile cocktail bars in Copenhagen. He is currently working in the iGaming industry for a globally recognized multi-million-pound company.
