For the 2008–09 campaign, Dimas joined CD Numancia for his La Liga debut, which occurred on 25 September 2008 in a 2–0 away loss against RCD Mallorca. He was regularly played as the Soria club was eventually relegated after just one year.
Dimas competed in the Segunda División from 2009 to 2015, dropping down a level with FC Cartagena and Recreativo de Huelva. On 3 August 2015, aged 32, he moved abroad for the first time, signing a one-year deal with A-League side Western Sydney Wanderers FC and sharing teams with his compatriots Alberto and Andreu.
On 11 July 2017, Dimas joined Bengaluru FC on a one-year contract. After a successful debut season in the Indian Super League, he agreed to a one-year extension.
Dimas announced his retirement in May 2023 following a spell with Spanish amateurs CF Montañesa, aged 40. He returned to the Indian top tier immediately after, being appointed assistant manager at East Bengal FC.
