Tom is a mobile and skilful 21-year-old who was recruited in the 2009 Rookie Draft and elevated to the senior side in 2011 after an outstanding year in the VFL.

 He suffered a number of injury setbacks in his first two seasons with the Club, but overcame them to make his AFL debut during Round 11 of the 2011 season.

Tom showed in his two games that he could develop into a reliable key defender for the Club moving forward, especially after impressing against Collingwood by keeping key forward Chris Dawes to just two goals.

After persistent shin splints forced the tall defender to have surgery at the end of the 2011 season, Tom made the most of his rehabilitation and pre-season training to earn a permanent spot in the squad for the Club’s 2012 NAB Cup campaign.

Tom made the most of his opportunity as a Rookie and can now join his older brother, Jonathon Simpkin from Geelong, in the big league.

The part Irish man, who states Matthew Richardson as his favourite player, will be one to watch in 2012 as he is determined to fill the spot up for grabs in the backline.
