Club career

Born in Rialma, Goiás, Dimba joined Santos' youth setup in 2009, aged 17, after starting it out at Goiás. He made his first team – and Série A – debut for the former on 1 August 2010, coming on as a substitute for Madson in the 79th minute of 2–1 away win against Grêmio Barueri.[1]

On 12 February 2012 Dimba scored his first goal for Peixe, netting the last in a 4–1 home routing against Linense for the Campeonato Paulista championship.[2] He finished the tournament with three goals, as his side were crowned champions.

On 3 September 2012 Dimba was loaned to fellow top level club Náutico until December.[3] He appeared rarely for the club, scoring once in five matches.

On 8 December 2012, Dimba was loaned to Botafogo-SP, alongside two other players.[4] He appeared sparingly with the club, but managed to score twice in 2013 Campeonato Paulista.

On 30 July 2013 Dimba joined Boa Esporte, also on loan.[5] After failing to appear with his new side, he joined Penapolense in December, in the same predicament.[6]

On 10 April 2014 Dimba moved to Vila Nova, again in a temporary deal.[7] He was released by Santos in December 2014, after his contract expired.

In January 2015 Dimba returned to Penapolense, now in a permanent deal.
