Simon Spender (born 15 November 1985) is a Wales Under-21 international footballer[2][3] who plays at right back for The New Saints.[4] He has previously played for Wrexham and Barrow.

Career

Born in Mold, Flintshire, Spender came up through the youth system at Wrexham and made his debut in a 0–0 draw with Plymouth Argyle in March 2004.[5][6] He made six appearances in the 2003–04 season, impressing in a 2–1 win over Luton Town.[7] He made 19 appearances in the 2004–05 season and was rewarded with his first professional contract in May 2005.[8] Spender made a further 21 appearances in the 2005–06 season and was given a new contract in summer of 2006.[9][10] He established himself as the first-choice right-back and by the end of the 2007–08 season had made over 100 appearances for Wrexham.[11] Spender missed three months of the 2008–09 season with a broken elbow and in March 2009, joined Barrow on loan for the remainder of the season, helping them to avoid relegation.[12] He was not offered a contract by Wrexham at the end of the season,[12] and signed a permanent two-year contract with Barrow.[13]

Spender spent two seasons with Barrow. In his first year at the club he won the FA Trophy and made the most appearances for the club of any player that season.[14] The following year Spender remained a regular and helped Barrow avoid relegation yet again. In May 2011 he was offered a new contract by Barrow,[15] but chose to take up the option of professional football at The New Saints in the Welsh Premier League.[4] His competitive debut for the club took place on 30 June 2011 against Cliftonville in a Europa League first qualifying round match.[16]
