Born in Santa Maria da Feira, Aveiro District, Diga started and finished his development at C.D. Feirense and also had a two-year youth spell at Lisbon-based Sporting CP. He made his professional debut with the first team of the former club on 11 November 2017, playing 90 minutes in a 2–1 away loss against Moreirense F.C. in the group stage of the Taça da Liga.[2] His maiden Primeira Liga appearance took place later that month, when he started the 3–1 defeat at S.C. Braga.[3]

After being relegated in 2019, Diga spent a further three campaigns with the side in the Segunda Liga. He made 84 competitive appearances during his spell, failing to score.

Mafra

[edit]

Diga signed a one-year contract with second-tier C.D. Mafra on 7 July 2022.[4] He scored his first goal as a senior the following 7 April, in a 2–2 draw away to C.F. Estrela da Amadora.[5][6]

Later career

[edit]

On 12 December 2023, Diga joined C.D. Nacional of the second division on a deal until the end of the season.[7] In July 2024, he returned to Feirense.[8]
