Ashton Sims (born 26 February 1985 in Sutherland, New South Wales) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer who currently plays for the Warrington Wolves in the Super League. A Fiji international representative forward, he previously played for St. George Illawarra Dragons, Brisbane Broncos and North Queensland Cowboys.
While attending Kiama High School in 2002, Sims was selected to play for the Australian Schoolboys team. He played his junior football for the Gerringong Lions.
Sims played for his local NRL club, St George Illawarra Dragons, from 2003 to 2007, making his NRL debut against the Penrith Panthers in round nine of the 2003 season. In 2004 he suffered a suspected broken jaw, having been elbowed in a wayward shoulder charge by Newcastle's Clint Newton. Newton was sent off and suspended for twelve weeks. Sims however managed to play out the game. During the 2007 season, the Dragons told Sims he was no longer wanted at the club, and he signed for the Brisbane Broncos on a three-year contract starting in 2008. He played 81 NRL matches for the Dragons over five seasons. Ashton Sims was one of the club youngest debutants in the History of the club..
Sims made his Brisbane Broncos debut in the Round 1, 2008 clash against reigning wooden spooners, the Penrith Panthers, in a 48–12 win. Later that year, an elimination semi-final against the Melbourne Storm, Sims started the match in the back-row. The Broncos were leading at the time, but went on to lose the game in the final minute, after Sims dropped the ball with two minutes remaining in the match, which led to the match winning try by Greg Inglis. Sims described it as "one of the low points" of his career. Sims played almost 60 games for the club and was one of the club's highest paid players, he played in the back-row and in the front row during his time at the Broncos.
