Club career
Lejaun Simmons started his career at major Bermudian side Devonshire Cougars, being in the youth team for 2 years before being promoted to the first team in 2011. In 2013 he began training with Ilkeston, after the English club developed a link-up with Bermuda Hogges in order to create a pathway to professional football for promising Bermudian players.[3] During the 2013–14 season he made seven appearances for the club (six in the league), and also had loan spells with Mickleover Sports and Long Eaton United.[4][5][6]
He was still with the club in December 2014,[7] however he did not make any appearances during the 2014–15 season.[8] He had left the club by December 2015, returning to Bermuda with Robin Hood.[9] He signed a three-year contract in August 2017.[10]
International career
Lejaun made his debut for the Bermuda national team against Haiti on 9 September 2012, in the CONCACAF Gold Cup.[2] He scored his first goal two days later against Saint Martin in the same competition.
