After playing youth football with Chelsea and Southampton,[2][4] Simeu moved on loan to Carlisle United in January 2022.[5][6]

On 1 September 2022, Simeu joined Tranmere Rovers on a season-long loan.[7][8] He made his debut for the club in a 2–0 defeat to Leyton Orient, coming on as a substitute for Josh Hawkes in the 70th minute.[9] On 14 October 2022, Simeu scored his first professional goal in a 3–0 victory against Crewe.[10] He was given a red card during Tranmere's 0–2 defeat to AFC Wimbledon on 19 November 2022 for violent conduct after he threw Harry Pell to the floor off the ball.[11][12]

On 5 January 2023, Simeu joined Morecambe for the remainder of the season after ending his loan spell with Tranmere early.[13][14]

During an under-21 match against Aston Villa in August 2023, Simeu ruptured his achilles and was reported to be facing an extended spell on the sidelines.[15]

Simeu has represented England at under-17 and under-18 level.[16][17]
