Simon Rayner (born July 8, 1983) is a Canadian football goalkeeper, currently playing for Torquay United on loan from Lincoln City. He has represented Canada at Youth, Under-20 and Under-23 levels.
Rayner began his career as a junior with Bournemouth, signing as a trainee professional in August 2000.[1] He failed to make the first team at Bournemouth and left in February 2002 to join League of Wales side Barry Town,[2] helping the Welsh side to the League and Cup double at the end of the season.
In December 2002, he played for the Canadian Under-23 team against the United States.[3]
He left Barry in the summer of 2003,[4] joining Port Talbot Town in July that year. At end of the following season Rayner had trials with Newcastle United [5] and Swansea City,[6] but joined Lincoln City in August 2004.[7]
He made his league debut for Lincoln on September 25, 2004, but struggled to establish himself due to the presence of Alan Marriott as Lincoln's first choice keeper. Rayner joined non-league Alfreton Town on loan in January 2006.[8]
He joined Torquay United on an emergency loan on March 1, 2007,[9] making his debut the following day in the 1-1 draw away to Chester City.
