I can’t lie it’s not been easy. I still miss playing football every single day and I’m trying my best to shake it but I am trying, still smiling and always going to give my best.
I’ve done some amazing tv shows, travelled the world, played football for all different amazing charities and working in football with as a player liaison.
Personally I’ve been to university and passed a Sports Psychology degree
I’ve been a part of setting up a football academy in Dubai
And I’ve opened up a bar/restaurant in my hometown Manchester
Other than trying fill to the void of not playing football anymore I know I am not perfect but I’m working hard every day on being a better person, a better communicator, a better friend, an even better Dad. Ultimately 2026 I want to keep growing, learning and smiling 😀
2026 let’s go 🚀

Premier League winner Danny Simpson discusses how the PFA Business School has set him up for his second career in football 🤝
I have to say that was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in my life. From start to finish the whole journey/process has been unbelievable. Physically and mentally it’s been a rollercoaster but I have to thank everyone.
From my team to and his team, my friends, family and for the opportunity.
