Simon Christopher Eastwood (born 26 June 1989) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for EFL Championship club Oxford United.

Born in Luton, Bedfordshire,[2] Eastwood was a Huddersfield Town academy goalkeeper who made two appearances on the substitutes' bench in the 2005–06 season at the age of just 16.

Following Huddersfield's 3–1 defeat by Crewe Alexandra on 21 February 2009, he was recalled by manager Lee Clark following an injury to Matt Glennon.

Clark gave Eastwood his full debut on the last day of the 2008–09 season, as regular keeper Alex Smithies had a shoulder injury.

After 28 appearances (22 in the league) he returned to the Galpharm on 31 December, after Bradford manager Stuart McCall said he needed a more experienced goalkeeper at the club.

After one season at Oxford, having failed to make a first-team appearance, Eastwood was released in May 2011 despite having a year left on his contract.

[8] On 21 June, Eastwood signed a one-year contract with Conference North club FC Halifax Town.

[11] However, just five days later, after Eastwood chose to take a trial with Portsmouth, his contract with Bradford was rescinded, the club stating that it would not stand in his way.

[12] After featuring in all Portsmouth's preseason matches, Eastwood joined Pompey on 13 August 2012, on non-contract terms, one day ahead of their League Cup tie against Plymouth Argyle, in which he made his debut.

[24] Eastwood rejected Portsmouth's offer and on 13 May 2013 agreed a deal in principle to join Championship club Blackburn Rovers.

[25] He made his debut for the club on 7 August 2013 in a first round League Cup tie against Carlisle United, which Blackburn lost on penalties after a 3–3 draw.

[28] He was given the number 1 jersey and played every minute of all 62 first-team matches in 2016–17,[29] including the 2017 EFL Trophy Final at Wembley Stadium.
