Simões played for 10 years at Portuguese Campeonato Nacional Feminino club Escola, before transferring to German Frauen-Bundesliga team SC 07 Bad Neuenahr in July 2012.[4][5] Simões had been scouted by SC 07 whilst playing in the 2012 Algarve Cup,[4] and signed a one-year contract.[5] Simões later played for 1.

In 2019, Simões helped Valadares to beat Clube de Albergaria in a penalty shoot-out to progress to the Portuguese Women's Cup Final.[9] There, Valadares played against Benfica.[10] They lost the match 4–0, and Simões went off injured after 86 minutes, and had to be replaced in goal by an outfield player.[11] In March 2020, Simões was nominated for the best player award at the Gala Quinas de Ouro.[12]
