Simon Christopher Eastwood (born 26 June 1989) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Oxford United.
Born in Luton, he began his career as a youth player with Huddersfield Town. He went professional in 2006, but struggled to break into the first team and went on loan to Woking in 2009 then moved to Bradford City a year later. He made a permanent transfer to Oxford United in 2010 but did not make a first-team appearance, and in the following years he played for Halifax Town, Portsmouth, and Blackburn Rovers, before returning to Oxford in 2016.
Eastwood has played internationally for England twice at under-18 and under-19 levels.
Born in Luton, Eastwood was a Huddersfield Town academy goalkeeper who made two appearances on the substitutes' bench in the 2005–06 season at the age of just 16 years old. At the start of the 2006–07 season, he was the third-choice goalkeeper behind Paul Rachubka and new signing Matt Glennon. After Paul Rachubka's departure to Blackpool, Eastwood had been made second-choice goalkeeper behind Matt Glennon.
Eastwood signed his first professional contract at the end of the 2006–07 season for one year. On 16 January 2008, he and fellow Huddersfield youngster Shane Killock signed new one-year contract extensions. This was after he fell behind goalkeeper Alex Smithies in the pecking order. On 27 November 2008, he joined Conference National side Woking. His first appearance for Woking was in their 1–1 draw with Rushden & Diamonds on 9 December 2008. Following Huddersfield's 3–1 defeat by Crewe Alexandra on 21 February 2009, he was recalled by manager Lee Clark following an injury to Matt Glennon. Clark gave Eastwood his full debut on the last day of the 2008–09 season, as regular keeper Alex Smithies had a shoulder injury. The game was Huddersfield's 1–1 draw against Leyton Orient at Brisbane Road on 2 May 2009.
