Aaron Simpson Signs For Invicta

Folkestone Invicta are pleased to announce that Aaron Simpson has signed for the club.

Aged 21, Aaron started his career with League One Gillingham, and he signed his first professional contract in the summer of 2017, before going out on loan to Isthmian League Premier Division Margate in January of the following year. He then signed another year’s contract with ‘The Gills’, but when he was then offered a further contract at the end of the 2018/19 season, he declined the offer and signed for our neighbours at Hythe Town in August 2019, although he has been out of the game for a short while.

Away from football, Aaron was given a community award by the Medway African Caribbean Society in January 2018, for his work with schools in the area.

Neil said; “Aaron is a player I’ve had my eye on all the way through his career, so I’m really pleased that he has agreed to sign. “He is another who perhaps hasn’t gone on as he should, but I’d like to think that we can get the best out of him at Invicta and perhaps get him back to a higher level. “He is athletic with a good left foot and he can play anywhere down the left hand side as well as cutting inside on the right, as we’ve got a small squad, he will be invaluable as he can cover a number of positions.”

Welcome to the BuildKent Stadium Aaron!
