Personal life[edit]
He has one younger sister Ellie, Sims grew up in the town of Gillingham, Dorset and attended Gillingham School.[3]
Club career[edit]
Sims joined Southampton's Academy from the Elite Training Centre in 2011.[4][5] After impressing with the under-23 side, Sims made his professional debut for Southampton on 27 November 2016 against Everton in a Premier League match. He took only a few moments to achieve his first assist of his senior career when he set up Charlie Austin for a headed goal in the first minute. Sims ended the first half with 95% passing accuracy, the best among all players on the pitch, as Southampton went on to win 1–0.[6]
Sims made his Europa League debut for Southampton on 8 December, in a 1–1 draw against Hapoel Be'er Sheva.[7]
Sims continued to stay in the mix for the first team into January and provided the game-winning assist for Shane Long in a 1–0 away win against Liverpool to send Southampton into the 2017 EFL Cup final.[8]
On 20 August 2018, Sims joined Reading on a season-long loan.[9] He made his debut for Reading two days later, in a 2–2 away draw with Blackburn Rovers in the Championship. Sims was brought on just after the hour-mark to replace Sone Aluko.[10] He was recalled in January.
International career[edit]
Sims has represented England at under-17 level and won the 2014 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship with his country.[11]
