Sims started his career with local side, Canvey Island before spending six years at Southend United and then eventually joining Blackpool as a 16-year old.[3] Prior to making his Football League debut in December 2019, during a 1–0 defeat to Acrrington Stanley, replacing an injured Jak Alnwick with 60 minutes remaining, Sims enjoyed loan spells at both Skelmersdale United and Lancaster City (where he earned the player of the season award) between 2017 and 2019.[4][5] At the conclusion of the 2020–21 campaign, Sims was released upon the expiry of his contract.

In October 2021, he made the move to National League South side, Welling United and went onto 24 times in all competitions winning three consecutive player of the months in the process before joining Braintree Town ahead of the 2022–23 campaign.[6][7]

On 7 June 2024, Sims was announced to have departed Braintree Town having been unable to agree a new contract.[8] Later that same day, he joined National League side Sutton United.[9]
