On 18 September 2015, Simonsen scored his first official goal for SønderjyskE, which became the matchwining goal. [4] 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. [5]

Loan to HB Køge

In the summer 2016, Simonsen was loaned out to Danish 1st Division club HB Køge until the winter break. [6] On 21 December 2016, HB Køge announced that they didn't want to keep the forward, because they were looking for a goal machine. [7] He played 19 league matches scoring 2 goals, before returning to SønderjyskE.

Podbeskidzie

On 1 February 2022, Simonsen signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with Polish second division side Podbeskidzie Bielsko-Biała. [8]

[10] On 27 August 2024, Sønderjyske confirmed that Simonsen had signed a contract for the rest of 2024. [11] In December, Sønderjyske confirmed that the parties did not extend the collaboration and therefore went their separate ways when the contract would expire on December 31, 2024. [12]
