About
Ellis Simms is an England-born forward who leads the line for Championship club Coventry City. Raised in Oldham, he came through the youth ranks at Everton after early spells with Blackburn Rovers and Manchester City, and made his senior breakthrough on Merseyside in 2021. Loan moves to Blackpool, Hearts and Sunderland sharpened his game, and he scored his first Everton goal in March 2023, a late equaliser away at Chelsea, before helping the Toffees stave off relegation. That summer Coventry signed him for an undisclosed fee, and he has since established himself as a powerful, physically imposing target man known for his hold-up play and aerial threat. Simms is contracted to the Sky Blues until June 2027, with his reported weekly wage standing at around £25,000, reflecting his status as one of the club’s central attacking options.
