Club career

Early career

Born in Kumanovo, Dimitrievski graduated from local giants FK Rabotnički's youth setup, and made his debut for the club on 24 October 2010, starting in a 2–0 home win against FK Vardar.

Dimitrievski was Rabotnički's first-choice during the 2011–12 campaign, also appearing with the side in the season's UEFA Europa League. On 23 August 2011 he signed a contract with Italian Serie A side Udinese, with the deal only being effective in December.[1]

Granada

On 30 December 2011, Dimitrievski was loaned to Cádiz CF.[2] However, he only appeared with the reserves in Tercera División and moved to another reserve team, Granada CF B in the 2012 summer.[3] On 12 October 2013, he was the last of three of the team's players sent off in a 2–1 loss at Atlético Sanluqueño CF for the season's Segunda División B.[4]

On 23 August 2014, after profiting from Roberto's suspension and Oier Olazábal's injury, Dimitrievski made his first team – and La Liga – debut, starting in a 2–1 home win against Deportivo de La Coruña.[5] However, his spell at the club was mainly associated with the B-side.

Gimnàstic

On 16 August 2016, Dimitrievski signed a two-year deal with Segunda División side Gimnàstic de Tarragona, mainly as a cover to injured Manolo Reina.[6] He made his debut for the Catalans on 7 September in the second round of the Copa del Rey, a 1–0 extra-time win at home to CD Numancia.[7]

After Sebastián Saja's poor run of form, Dimitrievski became a regular starter for Nàstic in October 2016, but his run only lasted until December as Reina returned from injury. On 13 August 2017, after the latter's departure, he extended his contract until 2020.[8]

Rayo Vallecano

On 31 August 2018, Dimitrievski was loaned to Rayo Vallecano in the top flight, for one year.[9] Initially a backup to Alberto García, he became the club's first-choice in November.

On 31 January 2019, Dimitrievski signed a permanent three-and-a-half-year contract with the Madrid outskirts club.[10]

International career

After representing Macedonia at under-17, under-19 and under-21 levels, Dimitrievski made his full international debut on 12 November 2015, starting in a 4–1 friendly routing of Montenegro at the Philip II Arena.[11]
