Club career

Early career

Born in Mojkovac, SR Montenegro, SFR Yugoslavia, Simović learned his trade in OFK Igalo. He made his debut in senior-level football with Berane, after which he joined Metalac GM for a brief spell. He subsequently joined Mogren in 2008.

Mogren

In 2008, Simović joined FK Mogren from Budva. At the time of Simović's arrival, Mogren was an ambitious team with coach Branislav "Brano" Milačić and memorable generation of players from the Montenegrin national team involving the likes of Radoslav Batak, Ivan Janjušević, Petar Grbić, Marko Ćetković, and Draško Božović.[1] Simović was a member of the Mogren squads which won the Montenegrin First League in 2009 and 2011.

Dynamo Kyiv

In late February 2012, Simović traveled to Israel to trial with Ukrainian team Dynamo Kyiv.[2] During the trial, Simović played a friendly match for Dynamo against Maccabi Haifa, which Dynamo won 5-0.[3] On March 1, 2012 he signed a three-year contract with Dynamo Kyiv.[4] Dynamo Kyiv paid Mogren approximately €200,000 for Simović's transfer.[5] After signing with Dynamo, he was loaned first to Arsenal Kyiv, and then loaned to Dynamo's B team.[6] During his loans, Simović had a back injury, and after two years he terminated his contract with Dynamo.[6]

Lovćen

After terminating his contract with Dynamo Kyiv, Simović joined Montenegrin team FK Lovćen in March 2014. In his first match with Lovćen, Simović scored a header against Budućnost only three minutes into the game.[7] He was a starting player in Lovćen's squad which won the 2014 Montenegrin Cup.[8]

Budućnost

After only a half season at Lovćen, Simović joined Budućnost in the summer of 2014 on a one-year contract. In August 2015, Budućnost and Simović agreed to renew the contract by one more year.[9]

Mladost Podgorica

Simović signed a contract with Mladost Podgorica in late January 2018.[10]

International career

After representing Montenegro at under-21 level,[11][12] he made his debut for the senior team in 2008.[13]
