Simon Ford (born 17 November 1981 in Newham) is an 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.
