Simon Cox (born 28 April 1987[1], Reading, England) is a footballer currently playing for Reading. He can play either as a midfielder or a striker[1].
Born in the Reading suburb of Tilehurst[2], Cox joined his home town club, at the age of 9[1], and made his first team debut on 20 September 2005 in Reading's League Cup victory away to Luton Town[1], after which he signed a professional contract with Reading on 18 November 2005[2].
On 11 September 2006, Cox went on loan to Brentford[3]. There he made five appearances (including four in League One) before the loan was cut short due to a broken leg suffered against Millwall on 26 September 2006[4]. Cox recommenced his loan with Brentford on 22 November 2006 following the recovery from his broken leg[5]. The loan will finish on 8 January 2007[5].
