Jeppe Friborg Simonsen (born 21 November 1995) is a professional footballer who plays as a full-back or winger. Born in Denmark, he plays for the Haiti national team.
Club career
Sønderjyske
At the age of 19, Simonsen was promoted to the first team squad in January 2015. He also signed a new 3-year contract with SønderjyskE in January 2015.
Simonsen got his debut for SønderjyskE on 27 July 2014. He started on the bench, but replaced Silas Songani in the 74th minute in a 1-1 draw against Esbjerg fB in the Danish Superliga.
On 18 September 2015, Simonsen scored his first official goal for SønderjyskE, which became the matchwining goal. He came on the pitch in the 75nd minute replacing Andreas Oggesen, and scores to the final result, 2-1, in the 86th minute.
On 1 February 2018, Simonsen got his contract extended until the summer 2021.
Loan to HB Køge
In the summer 2016, Simonsen was loaned out to Danish 1st Division club HB Køge until the winter break. On 21 December 2016, HB Køge announced that they didn't want to keep the forward, because they were looking for a goal machine. He played 19 league matches scoring 2 goals, before returning to SønderjyskE.
Podbeskidzie
On 1 February 2022, Simonsen signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with Polish second division side Podbeskidzie Bielsko-Biała.
Académico de Viseu and return to Sønderjyske
On 24 August 2023, Simonsen joined Liga Portugal 2 club Académico de Viseu on a two-year contract.
On 14 August 2024, after making seven appearances for Académico de Viseu throughout the year, it was confirmed that Simonsen was training with his former club Sønderjyske. On 27 August 2024, Sønderjyske confirmed that Simonsen had signed a contract for the rest of 2024. In December, Sønderjyske confirmed that the parties did not extend the collaboration and therefore went their separate ways when the contract would expire on December 31, 2024.
International career
Born in Denmark, Simonsen is of Haitian descent. His birth parents are from Haiti, but he was adopted at a young age by a Danish family. A youth international for Denmark, he debuted for the Haiti national team in a 10–0 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification win over Turks and Caicos Islands on 5 June 2021.
