Club Career

Early career

A product of the Red Star Belgrade, Simic and Filip Jankovic were considered the two most talented players from Red Star's youth team of players born in 1995. 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 Domzale. He made his first team debut against Radomlje where he started the match only to be substituted off in the 70th minute.

On 7 January 2016, he joined Schaffhausen on loan until the end of the 2015-16 season. For the season 2016-17 he was loaned to Chiasso. On 1 September 2017 Basel announced that the contract with Simic had been dissolved by mutual consent.

Simic joined Serbian side Zemun as a free agent 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.

Red Star Belgrade

Simic signed a four-year contract with Red Star Belgrade in the summer of 2018. 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". His contract was terminated after two and a half seasons on 11 January 2021.

Vojvodina

Simic signed a two and a half year contract with Vojvodina on 13 January 2021.
