Club career
In early 2016, Simpson was a part of the first-ever preseason roster for the Orlando Pride in the National Women's Soccer League, but ultimately did not sign with the club.[9]
In September 2016, Simpson signed her first professional contract with Spanish club UD Tenerife.[10] Simpson renewed her contract with the club in May 2017.[11]
Simpson signed with Glentoran W.F.C. in June 2019.[12]
After a season spent with Sparta Prague, Simpson returned to Tenerife in May 2020.[13]
Simpson joined the first-team roster of USL Super League club Tampa Bay Sun on February 5, 2025, after having trained with the team during the first half of their season. The move reunites her with former South Florida Bulls teammate Jordyn Listro, and coach Denise Schilte-Brown.[14] Simpson suffered an ACL tear on April 6, 2025, during a match against Fort Lauderdalel United.[15]
