Jaromír Šimr (born 31 January 1979), known in the Netherlands as Jarda Šimr, is a Czech former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.[2]

Career

Born in Plzeň, Šimr began his career in the youth system of local side Viktoria Plzeň, before moving to Feyenoord's youth academy in 1995.

After a move to RKC Waalwijk (without making a senior appearance), he would eventually make his senior league debut on 14 August 1999, for Excelsior, against Go Ahead Eagles. Over the following two seasons, he became a key player and this led to a move to NEC Nijmegen.

In 2003 he scored the goal to take NEC into the UEFA Cup (qualifying for Europe through their league position for the first time).

After leaving NEC, he played for Polish side Amica Wronki, then returned for a single season with Excelsior, before winding down his career at three Plzeň clubs: Viktoria, Senco Doubravka, Spartak Chrast, Slavoj Kolovec and finally Plzeň Bukovec, where he ended his playing career in 2014.
