Starting on the wing in later years he was noticed to have bulked up considerably and moved into the centre playing in the number 13 jersey.
Webster returned to full fitness in September but has been unable to dislodge prolific Tim Visser and Scotland international Lee Jones.
Simon Webster made his Scotland debut against Ireland in a World Cup warm-up match in 2003, and although he didn't make into the squad for the tournament he became a regular during the 2004 Six Nations.
He only made a single appearance during the 2008 autumn internationals, against Canada at Pittodrie, but in January 2009 he was included in Frank Hadden's squad for the Six Nations.
Webster also sells rugby gear, including the orange gloves that a large number of the Scottish backs wear.
