Club career

SønderjyskE

At the age of 19, Simonsen was promoted to the first team squad in January 2015. He also signed a new 3-year contract with SønderjyskE in January 2015.[1]

Simonsen got his debut for SønderjyskE on 27 July 2014. He started on the bench, but replaced Silas Songani in the 74th minute in a 1-1 draw against Esbjerg fB in the Danish Superliga.[2]

On 18 September 2015, Simonsen scored his first official goal for SønderjyskE, which became the matchwining goal.[3] He came on the pitch in the 75nd minute replacing Andreas Oggesen, and scores to the final result, 2-1, in the 86th minute.

On 1 February 2018, Simonsen got his contract extended until the summer 2021.[4]

Loan to HB Køge

In the summer 2016, Simonsen was loaned out to Danish 1st Division club HB Køge until the winter break.[5] On 21 December 2016, HB Køge announced that they didn't want to keep the forward, because they were looking for a goal machine.[6] He played 19 league matches scoring 2 goals, before returning to SønderjyskE.
