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]

[edit]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 14 August 2024, after making seven appearances for Académico de Viseu throughout the year, it was confirmed that Simonsen was training with his former club Sønderjyske.[10] On 27 August 2024, Sønderjyske confirmed that Simonsen had signed a contract for the rest of 2024.[11]
International career
[edit]Born in Denmark, Simonsen is of Haitian descent. His birth parents are from Haiti, but he was adopted at a young age by a Danish family.[12] A youth international for Denmark, he debuted for the Haiti national team in a 10–0 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification win over Turks and Caicos Islands on 5 June 2021.[13]
