Tommy James Simkin (born 8 December 2004) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for EFL League One club Leyton Orient on loan from Stoke City.

Club career

[edit | edit source]

Simkin progressed through the Stoke City Academy and signed a professional contract in April 2022.[3] He joined National League North side AFC Fylde in July 2022 on a one-month youth loan.[4] In July 2023, Simkin signed a new long-term contract with Stoke and joined National League side Solihull Moors on a season long loan.[5] After making 19 appearances for the Moors he was recalled by Stoke on 10 November 2023 after injuries to their senior keepers.[6] Simkin made his professional debut on 9 December 2023 in the Championship against Sheffield Wednesday after Jack Bonham was unavailable due to sickness.[7][8] On 12 January 2024, Simkin joined League Two side Forest Green Rovers on loan for the remainder of the 2023–24 season.[9] Simkin made one appearance for Forest Green which came in a 2–0 defeat against Harrogate Town on 13 January 2024.[10] He returned to Stoke early in February 2024 after the departure of manager Troy Deeney.[11]

Simkin joined his home town club, Walsall on loan for the 2024–25 season alongside teammate Nathan Lowe.[12] Simkin established himself as Walsall's number one and with Lowe scoring regularly the Saddlers topped the table by January and had a 15-point cushion.[13] However Lowe returned to Stoke and Walsall lost their form resulting in them missing out on automatic promotion on the final day.[14] After beating Chesterfield in the play-offs they lost 1–0 to AFC Wimbledon in the 2025 EFL League Two play-off final.[15]

On 18 July 2025, Simkin joined League One side Leyton Orient on loan for the 2025–26 season.[16]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Having previously represented England at U18 level, Simkin made his debut for the England Elite League squad as substitute during a 5-1 win over Poland at the Bialystok City Stadium on 22 March 2024.[17]
