Simon credits Bryson for helping her recover from a knee injury she sustained playing for Tottenham a year ago, including waiting on her “hand and foot” while Simon was on crutches and painkillers. Simon described 26-year-old Bryson as an “Energizer bunny” of a fullback. “It will be really nice to play alongside her and hopefully help her flourish this season as well,” she said.
After 111 appearances for the Matildas, and 15 years as a professional, Simon said she chose the Mariners in part because she wants to play for as long as possible.“One of the things that I needed to ensure was that I was in the best environment in terms of medical resources,” she said. “To make sure I’m fit and firing, and I’m as strong and robust as I possibly can be, more than I ever have been in my career.
“It’s just trying to make myself as approachable as I possibly can be and say to them, look, if you’ve got questions, feel free to come up and speak to me, pick my brain about anything, I’m more than happy to help,” she said.
