Las Palmas
Born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, David Simón started playing as a senior with local CF Unión Viera. In 2010, he moved to UD Las Palmas, being assigned to the reserves in the Tercera División.
In the summer of 2011, David Simón was loaned to Segunda División B's UD Vecindario.[1] He featured regularly for the club, which was relegated to the fourth tier.
In June 2012, David Simón renewed his contract with Las Palmas until 2015,[2] but remained with the reserves, however. In August 2014, he was definitely promoted to the main squad.[3]
On 23 August 2014, David Simón played his first match as a professional by starting the 2–0 home win against UE Llagostera in the Segunda División.[4] He scored his first goal in the competition on 21 March of the following year, but in a 4–2 away loss to CD Numancia.[5]
David Simón was an undisputed starter during the campaign, appearing in 41 games and scoring twice as his team returned to La Liga after a 13-year absence.[6] He made his debut in the competition on 22 August 2015, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 defeat at Atlético Madrid.[7]
Deportivo
On 24 July 2018, after suffering relegation, David Simón terminated his contract with Las Palmas,[8] and signed a two-year deal with fellow second division side Deportivo de La Coruña the following day.[9] He made only ten league appearances in 2019–20 due to a pubis injury,[10] scoring once in an eventual relegation.[11][12]
