On 23 August 2014, David Simón played his first match as a professional by starting in a 2–0 home win against UE Llagostera for the Segunda División championship.[4] He scored his first goal in the competition on 21 March of the following year, but in a 2–4 away loss to CD Numancia.[5]
David Simón was an undisputed starter during the campaign, appearing in 41 matches and scoring twice as his team returned to La Liga after a 13-year absence. He made his debut in the competition on 22 August 2015, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–1 away loss to Atlético Madrid.[6]
