Šimić started his professional career with Dinamo Zagreb in 1993, when the club was known as Croatia Zagreb. He was also part of the first team when they won four consecutive titles in the Croatian league between 1997 and 2000.[1] In the 1998–1999 and 1999–2000 seasons, he also appeared in a total of 10 UEFA Champions League group matches for the club, memorably scoring the winning goal in their 1–0 away win at Ajax on 25 November 1998.
In 2000, he left his homeland to play in Belgium for Club Brugge before going on to play in the national leagues of Greece, Korea and Austria.
He returned to Croatia in 2006, signing for Varteks as a free agent upon the end of his contract with FC Kärnten. After an alleged injury problem and only a few appearances, he left Varteks in the summer of 2007.
