Career

Çimşir spent most of his playing career career at Trabzonspor, where he captained the side from 2006 to 2009. At Trabzonspor, he helped the team to success in the Turkish Cup on two occasions, in 2003 and in 2004. He also had short spells at Sakaryaspor, Antalyaspor, Bursaspor, and Adana Demirspor. He transferred to Bursaspor ahead of the 2009–10 season and won the league title with the club that campaign as Bursaspor became the first club outside Istanbul to win the Süper Lig in 26 years.
He was a Turkish international and won over 30 caps for the national team.
His strengths were in his defensive capabilities. He usually would play in the anchor position, covering the defence and attempting to move the ball onto the midfield. He would rarely venture forward, preferring instead to organise and protect the back line.
