Connor James Dimaio (born 28 January 1996) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Northern Premier League Division One East club Bradford (Park Avenue). Born in England, he has represented the Republic of Ireland at under-21 level.

Club career

Sheffield United

A product of United's Academy, Dimaio made his first team début in March 2014 in an away game at Crawley Town.[4] Dimaio made two further appearances for the Blades before the end of the season, which was enough to see him awarded the club's annual 'Young Player of the Year' award.[5]

Chesterfield

Dimaio signed for League One side Chesterfield on 1 February 2016, on a contract until the end of the season, having been released by Sheffield United on the same day as he signed for Chesterfield. He scored his first goal for Chesterfield in a 3–1 win against Crewe Alexandra on 20 February 2016.[6]

Stockport County

In May 2018, Dimaio signed a two-year deal with Stockport County.[7] In February 2019 he joined Ashton United on loan until the end of the season.[8]

After leaving Stockport, Diamio joined National League North side Boston United in August 2020.[9] On 25 February 2022, he signed for National League side Curzon Ashton, returning to the club until the end of the season.[10]

Curzon Ashton

In July 2022, he signed permanently for National League North side Curzon Ashton.[11]

Matlock Town

On 9 February 2023, Dimaio signed for Northern Premier League Premier Division club Matlock Town.[12] On 4 March 2023, he went down injured during a 1–1 draw with Ashton United, a scan revealing that he had suffered a damaged cruciate ligament that would keep him out of action for between ten and twelve months.[13] A crowdfunding campaign was set up to pay for career-saving surgery, receiving a £1000 donation from former Sheffield United youth teammate and Premier League goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.[14] On 5 January 2024 Dimaio was loaned to United Counties League First Division Rainworth Miners Welfare for a month as part of his injury rehabilitation.[15]

Bradford (Park Avenue)

In May 2024, Dimaio joined Northern Premier League Division One East club Bradford (Park Avenue) following their relegation.[16]

Return to Matlock Town

On 16 September 2024, Dimaio returned to Matlock Town.[17] Having made three appearances, he departed the club the following month in search for more playing time.[18]

Return to Bradford (Park Avenue)

On 14 October 2024, Dimaio returned to Bradford (Park Avenue), one month after he had initially departed the club.[19]

International career

Having represented Republic of Ireland at under-16 and under-17 level, Dimaio was called up to the Republic of Ireland under-19 side in August 2013.[20] He made his debut in a friendly fixture against Norway later that month.[21] In mid May 2014, Dimaio started in two friendly defeats for Ireland Under-19s, both against Mexico Under-20s.[22][23]

Dimaio was called up for the under-21 team in March 2016 and made his debut in a European qualifier against Slovenia.

Fortunately, Connor has been able to get back on track, returning to the Gladiators' first eleven at the tail end of last season before a move to Bradford Park Avenue in the summer where he would go on to be entrusted with the captain's armband, featuring in all the NPL Division One East's games. He's now returned to the Gladiators to finish his story. Welcome back to the Gladiators, Connor! #GladsAllOver" (Tweet). Retrieved 17 September 2024 – via Twitter.
