Aidan Simmons will leave Western Sydney Wanderers at the conclusion of his contract to pursue a playing opportunity in Japan.
The defender made his debut against Western United in 2022 and leaves Western Sydney with 48 appearances in the Isuzu UTE A-League.
Simmons started the 2025/26 season as a mainstay in the Wanderers defence, starting the opening 10 matches in the league before a shoulder injury kept him out of the back-end of the season.

Simmons scored two goals and racked up five assists in his four seasons with the Red & Black and has made six appearances for the Australian u23s side.
His departure is the first in Mal Impiombato’s reign as Football Director since his appointment in April and with Ufuk Talay making the switch from Sydney FC, marks the start of a transformative off-season for the Red & Black.
He is the second defender to depart the club this year after Gabriel Cleur announced his retirement in January to pursue a career away from football.
