Simon Travis (born 22 March 1977) is an English former professional footballer. He played on both the right and left sides in a full-back or midfield role, and was capped by the England C national football team under Paul Fairclough. [1] [2]
Travis started his career in the Football League with a season at Division Three side Torquay United. He then spent two seasons in Division One at Stockport. After leaving Stockport he spent a total of seven seasons in the Conference with Telford United, Forest Green Rovers and Stevenage, combining football with his studies at university. He joined Hereford in February 2004. [3]
His signing coincided with the beginning of an 11-game unbeaten run in the Conference although the team missed out on promotion. The following season he was a regular at full-back and scored on the first day of the season. However the summer of 2005 was not a good time for Travis. Hereford went out of the playoffs in the semi-finals and then sustained a serious injury while playing for England in the Four Nations Tournament. He suffered a collapsed lung and broken ribs which put him out of action for several months. Once he returned he played a key role in a team that won promotion to the Football League via the playoffs, and played in the final, where Hereford defeated Halifax Town 3–2. [4]
The 2006–07 season saw him compete for the right back position with Trent McClenahan, with Travis making more appearances over the course of the season. A proposed loan move to Stockport fell through in the second half of the season. [5]
He spent the 2007–08 season at Nuneaton Borough, and when the club folded in the summer of 2008 he joined Solihull Moors. A year later spent a short period of time at Leamington, later playing for Brackley Town. [6]
At the tender age of 46, Travis is considering a return to the professional game. Travis has been offered a 'pay as you play' deal with Banbury United FC in September 2023. When interviewed by the Banbury Guardian, Travis stated " I am absolutely thrilled to be making a return to the game. I am confident that despite my age, I will be able to hold my own with some of the young whippersnappers in the league - come on you Reds !! ". A source close to Travis stated that he has agreed the sum of £24 per game with United and an additional £3 for each win.
