Career

edit
 
Eduardo Diniz with São Bernardo in 2022

Eduardo was born in Guaraí and moved to Araguaína, both in the state of Tocantins, at the age of eight.[2] He began his career with Paulista in 2006, becoming a regular starter from the 2008 season onwards.

Eduardo spent the 2009 Série B on loan at Guarani, before being announced at Palmeiras on 9 January 2010.[3] After being regularly used during the 2010 Campeonato Paulista, he lost his starting spot in the 2010 Série A, and moved to fellow top tier side Vitória on 7 August.[4]

In May 2011, after just one match during the year and struggling with injuries, Eduardo was sent back to Paulista.[5] He then spent the 2012 season on loan at Japanese club Gamba Osaka, also playing rarely.

On 4 January 2013, Eduardo agreed to a permanent contract with Mirassol,[6] but moved to Comercial-SP in March.[7] He finished the season with São Bernardo, before being loaned to Portuguesa on 23 April 2014.[8]

On 26 June 2014, after being rarely used at Lusa, Eduardo moved to América Mineiro also on loan.[9] After only playing once, he returned to São Bernardo, being loaned out to Ceará on 30 April 2016.[10]

On 6 April 2017, still owned by São Bernardo, Eduardo joined Atlético Goianiense.[11] He moved to CRB also in a temporary deal on 31 July,[12] and agreed to a loan deal with Linense on 13 December.[13]

On 18 April 2018, Eduardo signed a permanent deal with Joinville.[14] He was presented at Caxias on 3 January 2019,[15] being regularly used during his three-year spell at the club.

In April 2021, Eduardo returned to São Bernardo after four years,[16] and won the Campeonato Paulista Série A2 and the Copa Paulista with the club. On 13 December of that year, he returned to Lusa,[17] also winning the second level of the Paulistão.

On 22 April 2022, Eduardo returned to São Bernardo for a third spell.[18] On 27 April 2023, he returned to Portuguesa,[19] and renewed his contract with the latter on 4 December.[20]
