Club career
Early career
A product of the Red Star Belgrade, Simić and Filip Janković were considered the two most talented players from Red Star's youth team of players born in 1995.[1] However, he never transitioned into the first team, and instead signed a professional contract with Basel in 2014. Technical problems made him ineligible and was consequently loaned to Slovenian outfit Domžale.[2] He made his first team debut against Radomlje where he started the match only to be substituted off in the 70th minute.[3]
On 7 January 2016, he joined Schaffhausen on loan until the end of the 2015-16 season.[4] For the season 2016-17 he was loaned to Chiasso. On 1 September 2017 Basel announced that the contract with Simić had been dissolved by mutual consent.[5]
Simić joined Serbian side Zemun as a free agent[6] during the 2017–18 winter transfer window. In his last game for Zemun, he scored a last-minute goal in a 1–1 tie against Vojvodina on July 28, 2018.[7]
Red Star Belgrade
Simić signed a four-year contract with Red Star Belgrade in the summer of 2018.[1] In a promotional event, he told journalists that his early departure from Red Star to Basel had been "a mistake from which young players can learn".[8] His contract was terminated after two and a half seasons on 11 January 2021. [9]
Vojvodina
Simic signed a two and a half year contract with Vojvodina on 13 January 2021.[10]
