Simon James Heslop (born 1 May 1987) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for National League club York City.
Heslop started his career at Barnsley, signing his first professional deal with the club in 2005. He made just one first-team appearance during his six-year association with the South Yorkshire side. During his time at Barnsley, Heslop was loaned out to Conference National side Kidderminster Harriers during the 2005–06 season, and spent the following season on loan with Tamworth. He then spent time on loan with Northwich Victoria and Halifax Town during 2007–08, before having further loan spells at Grimsby Town, Kettering Town and Luton Town respectively. He was released by Barnsley in May 2010, and signed for League Two side Oxford United shortly after. Heslop made over 100 appearances for Oxford during his three-year stay there. He was released at the end of 2012–13, and subsequently signed for League One club Stevenage on a free transfer in May 2013.
Born in York, North Yorkshire, Heslop began his career at Barnsley, where he progressed through the youth team and signed his first professional contract with the club in 2005. After playing regularly for Barnsley's reserve team, Heslop went on loan to Conference National side Kidderminster Harriers at the start of the 2005–06 season, on an initial one-month deal. The Kidderminster manager, Stuart Watkiss, was formerly Barnsley's academy manager, and stated — "He immediately caught my eye during my time at Barnsley, and he's a lad with a lot of natural ability". He made his debut as a second-half substitute a day later, on 27 August, as Kidderminster drew 1–1 at home with Southport. After impressing during his time with the club, the loan agreement was extended for a further month, and then once again in October. Heslop scored his first goal for the club on 5 November 2005, firing home a "sublime shot" in a 2–1 defeat to Exeter City at Aggborough. The loan deal was extended until the end of January 2006, and Heslop returned to his parent club having made 26 appearances for Kidderminster during the season. At the end of the season, on 31 May 2006, Heslop signed a new two-year deal at Barnsley.
