Rai Quinton Arthur Simons (born 11 January 1996) is a Bermudian professional footballer who plays as a striker. He has been capped six times, and scored one goal for the Bermuda national football team in FIFA recognised matches. He was joint-top goal scorer at the 2013 Island Games Men's Football Tournament with three goals.
Simons started his career at North Village Rams as a youth player. At the age 15, Simons had trials and spent a week training with Premier League club West Ham United, before he eventually signed for Newcastle Town. He was part of the Newcastle Town under-18 team that won the Sentinel Cup in a record 8–1 win over Alsager Town at the Britannia Stadium, scoring with an "unstoppable shot" having replaced Callum Kenny in the 57th minute as a substitute.
He went on to join English Northern Premier League club Ilkeston in summer 2014, signing a two-year contract with the club. During his time at Ilkeston, Simons played for both the academy and first team sides, before attracting interest for a number of Football League clubs. He made 20 appearances in the 2014–15 season, in which Ilkeston reached the Northern Premier League Premier Division Play-Off Final.
