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. 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. 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 Simić had been dissolved by mutual consent.
Simić 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
Simić signed a four-year contract with Red Star Belgrade in the summer of 2018.
