Stevenage Sign Simeon Jackson Until the End of the Season<\/h2>\n

Experienced Striker<\/h3>\n

The Canadian striker is well-travelled, having played for 14 clubs in his 16-year playing career.<\/p>\n

He joins Stevenage from Scottish Premiership side Kilmarnock, whom he spent the first half of the 2019-20 season with. However, he made just four appearances for the club before his contract expired in December 2019.<\/p>\n

Jackson began his career with the now-defunct Rushden & Diamonds, before joining Gillingham in 2008. In three seasons with the Gills, Jackson registered 38 goals.<\/p>\n

A move to Norwich City<\/a> followed Gillingham, where the now 32-year-old continued his goalscoring form, scoring 13 in his first season at Carrow Road.<\/p>\n

The Canadian international then had a brief spell in Germany, joining Eintracht Braunschweig, before return to England in a short-term role at Millwall.<\/p>\n

Since leaving The New Den, Jackson has had short-term spells at several clubs, including Coventry City, Barnsley, Walsall and Grimsby Town.<\/p>\n

Second Striker of the Window<\/h3>\n

The signing of Simeon Jackson is the second arrival of a striker at Broadhall Way this window.<\/p>\n

Graham Westley signed Welshman Jake Cassidy<\/a> from National League side Maidenhead United.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old had only joined Maidenhead last summer and scored five times during the first half of the season.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Westley has also opted to extend the loan of veteran striker Craig Mackail-Smith<\/a> until the end of the season. Mackail-Smith is yet to register a goal for Stevenage this season, despite making 15 appearances.<\/p>\n

Stevenage currently sit in 23rd place, level on points with bottom side Morecambe on 22 points.<\/p>\n

However, they will be hoping to have gained confidence from their 4-0 thrashing of Cambridge United last time out.<\/p>\n

Graham Westley’s side face Exeter City in their next game, before hosting Plymouth Argyle.<\/p>\n
