In the 2011 summer, Simões signed with C.D. Santa Clara in the second level. He played 39 games and scored once in his second year, helping the Azores team finish in 11th position.
Simões joined fellow league side Moreirense F.C. in late June 2013, helping to a return to the Primeira Liga after one year by contributing with two goals and nearly 2,800 minutes of action.
