Jahmai Simpson-Pusey was born on the 11th of April in 2005, meaning at the time of writing he is 20 years old. A proud son of England, Simpson-Pusey primarily operates in the role of a central defender, although his flexibility allows him to adapt to other defensive positions if required. Currently, he plies his trade at Cologne, located in Germany's Bundesliga, where he wears the number 22 jersey.
Standing at 6ft 1in tall (1.87m), he presents a commanding figure in the heart of defence. Simpson-Pusey's weight is around 12st 6lb (79kg), providing him with strength in defensive duels. His current market value is approximated at £3.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
This valuation came after a series of moves spanning various leagues. Initially, in July 2021, he joined the ranks of Manchester City playing in England's Premier League, a club where he made two first-team appearances in the 2024-2025 season.
The young defender then took the well-trodden path from Manchester City to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership on a loan deal. Arriving at Celtic in August 2025, Simpson-Pusey featured for the famous green and white hoops in one league match during his temporary stint in Scotland in the 2025-2026 season. Given his brief spell and limited appearances for Celtic, Simpson-Pusey didn't leave a lasting impression at Celtic Park, limiting the scope of the discussion on his time among the Bhoys. He returned to Manchester City in January 2026 on completion of his loan spell.
Despite staying with Manchester City after his loan return, Simpson-Pusey decided to test the waters of Bundesliga, completing a loan move to Cologne in January. Current indicators suggest his experience in Germany suits him, with two league appearances for Cologne in the 2025-2026 season to his credit. As Simpson-Pusey navigates through the stages of his still burgeoning career, the English defender undoubtedly applies the lessons learnt from his time with Celtic and other clubs to thrive irrespective of the shirt he dawns.
