Career

Diogo Mateus came through the youth ranks with Internacional.[1] During the 2012–13 seasons, whilst with the Under-23 side, he had a loan spell with Porto B, making his senior debut on 18 August 2012 against União Madeira.[2] He stayed in Portugal with Portimonense, signing a loan deal for the 2013–14 season, however this was not a success, and he played in only one game before returning to Brazil prematurely in December.[3]

In 2014 he was made part of the squad for 2014 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, and made his top-flight debut against Botafogo on 27 April.[4] In May 2015 he joined Vitória on loan.[5] He became first choice in his position as the team won promotion from 2015 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B.[6] He was unable to agree a deal beyond the end of his loan spell with the club, and signed instead for Ponte Preta in March 2016.[6][7] However, he could not break into the first team, and by August 2016 he had returned to Vitória, on loan until the end of the season.[7] He returned to Ponte Preta, but was not registered for the 2017 edition of Campeonato Paulista, and in February he signed for Criciúma, with a desire to achieve another promotion from Série B.[8]

In December 2017 he signed for Ferroviária for 2018 Campeonato Paulista.[9] At the end of the campaign he renewed his contract with the club, but was not registered for their Série D campaign, being loaned instead to CRB in April for their 2018 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B campaign.[10][11] In April 2019, after spending the 2019 Campeonato Paulista campaign with Ferroviária, he signed another loan agreement with Coritiba.[1]
