Simon Daniel Weaver (born 20 December 1977) is a former English professional footballer who is the current manager of Harrogate Town.
Born in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, Weaver plays as a central defender and began his career as an apprentice with Sheffield Wednesday and made his professional debut during a loan spell with Doncaster Rovers in February 1997. Released by Wednesday, he moved into the non-league circuit with first Ilkeston Town and then Nuneaton Borough.
In the summer of 2002, he made a return to the Football League, signing for Lincoln City, who were managed by Keith Alexander, his former boss at Ilkeston. He signed a new one-year contract in July 2004, but lost his place in the Lincoln team at the start of the 2004–05 season and was transfer listed at his request. Following a loan period at Macclesfield Town, he joined Kidderminster Harriers, and was one of ten players released at the end of the season after Kidderminster were relegated to the Conference National. He signed a 12-month contract with Scarborough in June 2005, but despite initial optimism, the spell was not successful and with Scarborough in disarray, Simon was in need of a new club for the 2006–07 season.
Weaver signed a short-term contract with Conference National side York City at the beginning of the 2006–07 season but having been an unused substitute for the first two games of the season, he was released by York so that he could take up the offer of a 12-month contract at Tamworth. Although Weaver played in many of Tamworths games in the 2006–07 season, he was not offered a new contract following the club's relegation.
