Díaz's career began with Newell's Old Boys, with the defender's first professional appearance arriving on 3 July 2009 during a defeat to Racing Club.[2][3] Fifty-five further appearances followed for the Argentine Primera División club, prior to Díaz scoring his opening senior goal in a home win over Vélez Sarsfield in March 2014.[2][4] A year later, in February 2015, Díaz was loaned out to fellow Primera División side Banfield.[2] He returned to his parent club eleven months later after being selected twice by Banfield.[2] On 9 January 2016, Díaz joined Primera B Nacional's Gimnasia y Esgrima.[2] He scored two goals across thirty-eight appearances for them.[2]

Torneo Federal A side Central Córdoba completed the signing of Díaz in 2017.[2][5] He scored goals against Douglas Haig, Defensores de Pronunciamiento, Defensores de Belgrano and Chaco For Ever as the club won promotion as champions to the second tier in his first season.[2]
