Janko Simović (born 7 June 1986) is a Montenegrin professional footballer who plays as a center back for Zeta.
Born in Mojkovac, SR Montenegro, SFR Yugoslavia, Simović learned his trade in OFK Igalo. He made his debut in senior-level football with Berane, after which he joined Metalac GM for a brief spell. He subsequently joined Mogren in 2008.
In 2008, Simović joined Mogren. At the time of Simović's arrival, Mogren was an ambitious team with coach Branislav "Brano" Milačić and a number of players from the Montenegro national team involving the likes of Radoslav Batak, Ivan Janjušević, Petar Grbić, Marko Ćetković, and Draško Božović. [1]
In late February 2012, Simović traveled to Israel to trial with Ukrainian team Dynamo Kyiv. [2] During the trial, Simović played a friendly match for Dynamo against Maccabi Haifa, which Dynamo won 5–0. [3] On 1 March 2012 he signed a three-year contract with Dynamo Kyiv. [4] Dynamo Kyiv paid Mogren approximately €200,000 for Simović's transfer. [5] After signing with Dynamo, he was loaned first to Arsenal Kyiv, and then loaned to Dynamo's B team. [6] During his loans, Simović had a back injury, and after two years he terminated his contract with Dynamo. [6]
After terminating his contract with Dynamo Kyiv, Simović joined Montenegrin team FK Lovćen in March 2014. In his first match with Lovćen, Simović scored a header against Budućnost only three minutes into the game. [7] He was a starting player in Lovćen's squad which won the 2014 Montenegrin Cup. [8]
After only a half season at Lovćen, Simović joined Budućnost in the summer of 2014 on a one-year contract. In August 2015, Budućnost and Simović agreed to renew the contract by one more year. [9]
Simović signed a contract with Mladost Podgorica in late January 2018. [10]
After representing Montenegro at under-21 level, [11] [12] he made his debut for the senior team in a November 2008 friendly match against Macedonia. He came on as an injury time substitute for Elsad Zverotić and these remained his sole international minutes. [13]
