Career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

In January 2009, Simon joined Wolverhampton Wanderers' under 18 side from Újpest on loan until May.^[1]

Újpest

[edit]

Having returned to Újpest from Wolverhampton Wanderers in May 2009, Simon played his first match in the Hungarian National Championship I in September 2009 against Zalaegerszegi TE.

In July 2010, he was named best Hungarian under 19 football player of the year by Hungarian Football Association.^[2] Across the 2010–11 season he played 1129 minutes and scored two goals.

On 3 July 2012, Simon broke his sole during a training session with Újpest.^[3]

On 10 January 2015, Simon refused the offer by Charlton Athletic F.C. In an interview with Nemzeti Sport, he said that the style of Football League Championship did not suit him.^[4]

Feyenoord loan

[edit]

During his first trial game in Feyenoord, on 5 January 2011, Simon significantly contributed to the victory of his team against Sparta Rotterdam in the second half by two assists and a goal.^[5]^[6] He debuted in the Amsterdam Arena against Ajax Amsterdam in the Eredivisie.

1860 Munich

[edit]

On 2 February 2015, Simon signed a contract with German 2. Bundesliga club 1860 Munich until 2018.^[7]^[8] Before 1860 Munich signed Simon, Markus von Ahlen asked former 1860 Munich goalkeeper Gábor Király and former Hertha BSC midfielder and Hungary national football team coach Pál Dárdai's opinion.^[9]^[10]

Simon gave his debut for the Munich lions on 9 February 2015 in a 1–2 home defeat against Heidenheim, when he was substituted for Maximilian Wittek in the 78th minute.^[11]

Simon was left out from the squad due to the fact that he has not acquired the German language correctly and his oversensitivity according to his coach, Torsten Fröhling.^[12]^[13]

On 13 March 2015, he scored his first goal for the first team of 1860 Munich in a 3–0 away win against Greuther Fürth, when he brought his team to a 1–0 lead in the 34th minute after an assist by Korbinian Vollmann.^[14]^[15]

Újpest

[edit]

On 1 May he scored his first goal in the 2022–23 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season against Ferencváros at the Szusza Ferenc Stadion.^[16]

International career

[edit]

Simon played 19 matches and scored 2 goals for the Hungary U-19.

Playing style

[edit]

Former Újpest and current Feyenoord sport director Leo Beenhakker said that Simon is fast and audacious while playing football in an interview with Nemzeti Sport.^[17]
