Career

Lejaun Simmons started his career at major Bermudian side Devonshire Cougars, being in the youth team for 2 years before being promoted to the first team in 2011. In 2013 he began training with Ilkeston, after the English club developed a link-up with Bermuda Hogges in order to create a pathway to professional football for promising Bermudian players.[4] During the 2013–14 season he made seven appearances for the club (six in the league), and also had loan spells with Mickleover Sports and Long Eaton United.[5][6][7]

He was still with the club in December 2014,[8] however he did not make any appearances during the 2014–15 season.[9] He had left the club by December 2015, returning to Bermuda with Robin Hood.[10] He signed a three-year contract in August 2017.[11]

International career

Lejaun made his debut against Haiti on 9 September 2012, in the CONCACAF Gold Cup.[2] He scored his first goal just 2 days later against Saint Martin in the same competition.
