AFC Sudbury have revealed they have signed former Premier League striker and Canadian international Simeon Jackson in a transfer coup for Marc Abbott’s relegation-threatened Pitching In Southern League Premier Central side.
Set to turn 37 tomorrow, his professional career is best known for his promotion-winning spells at Norwich City and Gillingham, having helped fire the Canaries up to the Premier League in 2010/11 and The Gills to League One in 2008/09.
His spell at Norwich saw him score four goals from 35 appearances (15 starts) across two seasons in the Premier League from 2011/12 with his departure from Carrow Road taking him to the Bundesliga to for a short spell with Eintracht Braunschweig. He also went on to play in the Sottish Premiership for both St Mirren and Kilmarnock.
Jackson, who has 49 caps and six goals for Canada, had stepped back from playing at Chelmsford City last summer to focus on his role as an academy coach at the Step 2 club.
