Connor James Dimaio (born 28 January 1996) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for United Counties League Division One club Rainworth Miners Welfare on loan from Northern Premier League Premier Division club Matlock Town. Born in England, he has represented the Republic of Ireland at under-21 level.
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]
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]
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]
In July 2022, he signed permanently for National League North side Curzon Ashton. [11]
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]
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. [16] He made his debut in a friendly fixture against Norway later that month. [17] In mid May 2014, Dimaio started in two friendly defeats for Ireland Under-19s, both against Mexico Under-20s. [18] [19]
Dimaio was called up for the under-21 team in March 2016 and made his debut in a European qualifier against Slovenia.
