Simon Ford (born 17 November 1981 in Newham) is a English professional footballer currently playing for Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premier League. He is the nephew of former Rangers and Liverpool winger Mark Walters[1].
Ford, a defender, began his career at Charlton Athletic but never played a first-team match for the club. After leaving Charlton in 2001 he joined Grimsby Town where he made 78 appearances for "The Mariners", scoring 4 goals. Ford left Grimsby in August 2004, and joined current club Kilmarnock later that year. He had to initially sign as an amateur after signing professionally for Redbridge shortly beforehand.[2]
According to newspaper reports in March 2006, Ford is considering switching his national allegiance to Jamaica - his parents' homeland - in order to represent the Jamaican national football team.
