Simpson played in the NSW Premier League with Blacktown City Demons, APIA Leichhardt and Sydney Olympic. He had short stints in the A-League with Perth Glory and then-Queensland Roar. Simpson also played for a short time in Armenia with Dinamo-Zenit Yerevan.
It was a shock to many fans and supporters of football in Australia when his death was announced on 26 May 2011. No cause of death was given. A minute's silence was held as a mark of respect and remembrance to Simpson before the Round 10 clashes between Blacktown City Demons v South Coast Wolves and Sydney Olympic v Rockdale City Suns. As a mark of respect the Olyroos (Australian under 23s) wore black armbands in their friendly against Japan on 1 June 2011 in Niigata.
