He left Cambridge City in 2008, for the second time, and signed for neighbouring Histon.

He joined Championship team Peterborough United on loan until 31 December 2009, with a view to a permanent move, on 5 November 2009.^[3] He made his debut on 21 November as an 87th minute substitute in a 1–0 defeat against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.^[4] He scored two goals for Peterborough in a 4–4 draw with Cardiff City, including the equalising goal on 90 minutes, after the team had been 4–0 down at half time.^[5] He signed for Peterborough permanently on a three-and-a-half-year contract for an undisclosed fee on 5 January 2010.^[6]

He revealed in May that he was under new management, Gary Johnson's plans for the forthcoming 2010–11 season,^[7] although Johnson stated in July that Simpson was not part of his plans.^[8] Following a successful pre season trial Simpson joined League Two team Southend United on an initial six-month loan on 5 August 2010.^[9]

He was recalled from his loan in late December and on 31 December joined Crawley Town for an undisclosed fee on a two-and-a-half-year contract.^[10] He made his debut for the club the next day as an 83rd-minute substitute against Eastbourne Borough.^[11]

On 6 July 2015, Josh signed for Football League Two club Plymouth Argyle on a one-year contract.^[12] Simpson was released by Argyle at the end of the season.^[13]

In November 2017, Simpson signed for Southern League club Bishop's Stortford.^[14]

In November 2019, Simpson returned to his former club Cambridge City, debuting against Kempston Rovers.^[15]
