Simon marked the occasion in style during Nantes' 1-1 draw against Angers over the weekend as reported by Naija Stars Abroad. The Super Eagles star provided a crucial assist, which not only contributed to the result but also etched his name in the club's history books.
With this assist, Simon surpassed Emiliano Sala's record, becoming Nantes' all-time leading assist provider with 29 to his name.
The 29-year-old's impact at Nantes extends beyond his assist tally. He has also netted 27 goals for Les Canaris, showcasing his dual threat as both a creator and finisher.
Simon's 150 appearances place him fifth among Nigerian players with the most Ligue 1 appearances, behind football legends Victor Ikpeba (170), Taye Taiwo (191), Wilson Oruma (196), and John Utaka (239).
The NFF took to social media to commemorate Simon's achievement, posting: "Congratulations to our very own super star @Simon27Moses on reaching 150 games in @Ligue1_ENG Keeping soaring Super Eagles."
The post garnered numerous responses from Nigerian football fans, with one supporter commenting, "Simply the best!" while another used the opportunity to advocate for national team selection, saying, "Call up the Uche Getafe guy to our next game o. Welldone Simon."

Simon's consistency and productivity for Nantes have been remarkable. Breaking the assist record while hitting this appearance milestone speaks volumes about his importance to the team and his development as a player in Ligue 1.
With the Africa Cup of Nations on the horizon, Simon's form could prove crucial for the Super Eagles' campaign.
Nantes' next fixture against Saint-Etienne will provide Simon with an opportunity to build on this milestone and potentially extend his assist record, further cementing his status as a key player for both club and country.
