Having previously been on the books at Gillingham and Dulwich Hamlet, and being signed as a scholar by Geoff Harrop, Simeon Jackson progressed through the Diamonds youth ranks, and after a number of impressive performances for the reserves Simeon was named on the bench for the first team on a number of occasions in the 2003-04 season.
His first taste of action in the League saw him coming off the bench in the local derby away at Northampton Town towards the start of the 2004-05 season in League Two. Simeon impressed in youth and reserve team matches, which brought him to the attention of a number of high profile clubs, and resulted in trials at Manchester United and their city rivals. Towards the end of the 2005/06 season, Simeon proved a revelation up front, scoring plenty of goals, and continuing this form into the 2006/07 season when he was the clubs top scorer with a total of 19 goals. After playing for Canada Under 20's at the Fifa Under 20's World Cup, Simeon was offered a new contract to keep him at the Diamonds until 2010.
At the end of January 2008, Simeon completed a move to League One Club, Gillingham, for £150,000. Aged twenty, he had been the subject of much interest from Football League teams throughout the January transfer window, with the forward being linked to a number of Clubs.
