Simon Francis

Simon Francis plays as a central defender for MVV Maastricht in the Dutch Keuken Kampioen Divisie. Standing at 187 cm and weighing 78 kg, he possesses a solid physical presence that is crucial for his role in defense. His right foot is preferred for making clearances and challenges, allowing him to effectively contribute to his team's defensive efforts. In the current season, he has made six appearances, averaging a rating of 6.46 over approximately 81 minutes per game. This indicates a steady, if not standout, performance level, suggesting he is still finding his rhythm and adapting to the demands of the league. His relatively low average rating reflects the challenges he faces as a young defender in a competitive environment, but it also highlights his potential for growth as he gains more experience. Francis's role is primarily focused on maintaining defensive solidity, winning aerial duels, and supporting the backline. At 21, he is in a developmental stage of his career, and with a contract running until June 2027, there is ample opportunity for him to refine his skills and increase his impact on the pitch. His journey in the game is just beginning, and his performances will be closely watched as he strives to establish himself in the league.
