Club career
edit
Born in Santa Coloma de Gramanet, Barcelona, Catalonia, Dimas was a product of local UDA Gramenet. In 2006, he moved to FC Barcelona's reserves,[2] helping them to return to Segunda División B in his second season.
For the 2008–09 campaign, Dimas joined CD Numancia for his La Liga debut,[3] which occurred on 25 September 2008 in a 2–0 away loss against RCD Mallorca.[4] He was regularly played as the Soria club was eventually relegated after just one year.[5]
Dimas competed in the Segunda División from 2009 to 2015, dropping down a level with FC Cartagena[6] and Recreativo de Huelva.[7][8] On 3 August 2015, aged 32, he moved abroad for the first time, signing a one-year deal with A-League side Western Sydney Wanderers FC and sharing teams with his compatriots Alberto and Andreu.[9]
On 11 July 2017, Dimas joined Bengaluru FC on a one-year contract.[10] After a successful debut season in the Indian Super League, he agreed to a one-year extension.[11]
Dimas announced his retirement in May 2023 following a spell with Spanish amateurs CF Montañesa, aged 40.[12] He returned to the Indian top tier immediately after, being appointed assistant manager at East Bengal FC.[13]
