Karlo Šimek (born 3 June 1988) is a Croatian former professional footballer who played as a right midfielder or right-back.
Club career A graduate of the Varteks youth academy, Šimek was promoted to the senior squad in 2007, which changed its name to NK Varaždin in mid-2010. In January 2012, he had a try-out with Kazakh club Shakhter Karagandy in Turkey, but in the process, he injured his leg. In the same month, Istra 1961 also expressed their desire to sign him. He ultimately signed for Karlovac after having made 103 appearances for Varteks / Varaždin.
After a stint with Croatian club Zelina, Šimek moved abroad, signing for Austrian club Lafnitz. He went on to represent Gorica and Deutschkreutz, before signing for Međimurje in January 2016. In January 2017, he signed with a different NK Varaždin, a club unassociated with the one he started his career with, but which went bankrupt in 2015.
