Club career
editDíaz was born in Seville, Andalusia. A Sevilla FC youth graduate, he made his senior debut for the reserves in the 2006–07 season, achieving promotion from the Segunda División B.[2]
Díaz made his professional debut on 25 November 2007, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Racing de Ferrol in the Segunda División.[3] He was regularly used until the end of his spell, suffering relegation in 2009.[2]
Díaz moved to third-tier club Real Oviedo on 29 June 2010.[4] On 1 September of the following year, after a failed trial at Charlton Athletic, he signed for fellow league team Celta de Vigo B.[5]
On 14 July 2012, Díaz signed a two-year deal with CD Lugo in division two.[6] He scored his first professional goal on 14 December of that year, netting the first in a 3–2 home win over Real Madrid Castilla.[7]
On 16 July 2014, Díaz joined Recreativo de Huelva in the same tier.[8] The following 17 August, after being relegated, he agreed to a two-year contract at CD Leganés.[9] He achieved promotion to La Liga at the end of the campaign, contributing 39 appearances and one goal.[10][11]
Díaz made his debut in the Spanish top flight on 22 August 2016, starting and scoring the game's only goal in a win at RC Celta de Vigo – it was also the first ever goal for the Madrid side in the competition.[12] The following 3 July, he joined Granada CF on a two-year deal.[13]
In June 2019, after achieving promotion to the top division, Díaz signed a new three-year contract.[14] On 16 July of the following year, he scored a late winner at RCD Mallorca in the penultimate game of the season, relegating the hosts and putting his side in line for a UEFA Europa League place.[15]
After an arthroscopy on his knee in October 2020, club captain Díaz was out of action; on his return to training in December, a muscular injury ruled him out for longer.[16]
