Club career
editBorn in Vila Real, Dinis finished his formative years at Sporting CP, but only represented its reserves as a senior. He made his debut with lowly Associação Desportiva e Cultural de Santa Marta de Penaguião in the fourth tier Terceira Divisão, moving to third tier Segunda Divisão with C.D. Olivais e Moscavide the following season, where he teamed up with Miguel Veloso.
In 2006–07, aged 24, Dinis first competed in the Primeira Liga, appearing in seven matches for Boavista FC.[1] He split the following campaign between C.D. Trofense and C.F. União, and signed with S.C. Beira-Mar of the second tier for 2008–09, having his contract terminated in June 2009 after only five competitive appearances.[2]
Dinis moved abroad in late July 2009, joining Polish club Zagłębie Lubin.[3] He was released on 1 June 2011, after spending two years in the Ekstraklasa mainly as a back-up left-back.[4]
