Club career

Born in Recife, Pernambuco, Diego was a Náutico youth graduate. In January 2013 he was promoted to the main squad, and made his senior debut late in the month by starting in a 2–2 Campeonato Pernambucano away draw against Chã Grande/Decisão.[1]

On 16 October 2013 Diego made his Série A debut, coming on as a late substitute for Derley in a 0–3 away loss against São Paulo.[2] He finished the campaign with six appearances, as his side suffered relegation as dead last; he also extended his contract until 2015 shortly after his top level debut.[3]

After being rarely used in 2014, Diego was a regular starter in 2015. He scored his first professional goal on 16 May 2015, scoring a last-minute winner in a victory at Boa Esporte.[4]

In July 2015, Diego suffered a knee injury, being sidelined for two months. He subsequently lost his starting spot after his return, and was released.[5]

On 13 January 2015 Diego joined Santos, being initially assigned to the B-team.[6] Sixteen days later he was promoted to the main squad, due to limited options in his position.[7]

On 10 July 2017, after only making appearances for the B-team, Diego moved abroad after joining C.D. Nacional on a one-year deal.[8]
