DeSimone made his professional debut in the 2011–12 season, after signing a one-year contract with the Hamilton Bulldogs of the AHL. After producing an impressive 33 points in his rookie season, DeSimone was signed by fellow AHL club, the Albany Devils, on a one-year contract on July 6, 2012.[1]

After forging his first European season in the Finnish Liiga with Jokerit and the Swedish HockeyAllsvenskan with Södertälje SK and briefly Björklöven IF, DeSimone opted to sign a one-year contract with Champions Hockey League bound HC Bolzano of the EBEL for the 2014–15 season, on August 19, 2014.[2] DeSimone played upon the scoring lines with Bolzano to contribute with 36 points in 49 games.

On June 29, 2015, DeSimone opted to remain in the Austrian League, leaving Bolzano to sign a one-year contract with fellow competitors Graz 99ers.[3] In the 2015–16 season, DeSimone played on the top scoring line of the 99ers, contributing with 9 goals and 22 points in 39 games before opting to end his contract mid-season. He returned to North America, signing for the remainder of the year with the AHL club, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms on January 22, 2016.[4]
