Template:Short description Template:Portuguese name Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox football biography Bruno Martins Simão (born 5 May 1985) is a Portuguese former professional footballer who played as a left-back.

He spent most of his career abroad, making 49 appearances with three clubs in Romania's Liga I and also winning cups in Azerbaijan and Moldova, in addition to brief stints in Slovakia, Cyprus and France. Domestically, he totalled 68 games in LigaPro, where he represented four teams.

Club career

Simão was born in Lisbon. He had two stints at Benfica's youth system, where he played with Ruben Amorim and Pedro Russiano.[1]

Following the decision of club president João Vale e Azevedo of dissolving the club's underage teams, Simão moved on to Estoril and Belenenses before returning to the EaglesTemplate:' reserves. After a brief spell in the Segunda Liga with Barreirense, he moved abroad for the first time to UTA Arad in Romania's Liga I.[2]

Simão had further experience of the Eastern European country's top flight with Dinamo București and Astra Giurgiu, with a year at Slovan Bratislava in Slovakia in between. In 2010, he signed for Khazar Lankaran of the Azerbaijan Premier League, and won the cup in his only season.[2]

Moving on to Milsami Orhei of Moldova, Simão was again a cup champion in his first campaign (2011–12), also picking up the Super Cup that summer. After a brief stint in Cyprus with Doxa Katokopias without playing, he signed in September 2013 with Dacia Chișinău in the previous country.[3]

Simão's eight-year Eastern adventure ended in 2014 as he joined União de Leiria in his country's third division, moving on to Oliveirense in LigaPro that July.[4] Following a brief return to Leiria in July 2015,[5] he signed for Atlético Clube de Portugal of division two.[6]

In August 2017, Simão headed abroad again to sign for Lusitanos Saint-Maur, a Portuguese-community team in France's fourth tier.[7] He left soon after for Pinhalnovense in the Portuguese lower leagues, where he suffered a road accident that put him in a coma for two days.[8]

Simão joined Casa Pia in July 2018, and was part of their squad that defeated Vilafranquense on penalties to win the third-division title.[9] He was one of three players to be released halfway through the season in January 2020,[10] dropping down a level to Torreense.[11]

Personal life

Simão's younger brother, David, was also a footballer, in the midfielder position.[2] Their cousin Amorim was also a player and manager.[8]
