Club career

Portugal

Born in Matosinhos, Simões played with three clubs as a youth, including FC Porto from ages 8–14. He first appeared as a senior for Padroense FC, competing two seasons in the third division and one in the fourth.

In the summer of 2011, Simões signed with C.D. Santa Clara in the second level.[1] He played 39 games and scored once[2] in his second year, helping the Azores team finish in 11th position.

Simões joined fellow league side Moreirense F.C. in late June 2013,[3] helping to a return to the Primeira Liga after one year[4] by contributing with two goals[5][6] and nearly 2,800 minutes of action. He made his debut in the Portuguese top flight on 17 August 2014, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 away win against C.D. Nacional.[7]

AEK Athens

On 30 January 2015, before the campaign was over, Simões agreed to a two-year contract with AEK Athens F.C. which was made effective on 1 July.[8] On 19 March 2016 he agreed to an extension until 30 June 2019, with a buy-out clause of €7.5 million;[9] on 10 December of that year, he scored his first goal to contribute to a 4–0 home triumph over Levadiakos F.C. for the Superleague Greece.[10]

On 24 August 2017, Simões helped his team defeat Club Brugge KV in the second leg of the play-off round of the UEFA Europa League, netting twice and winning a penalty in a 3–0 home win.[11]
