Fernando Alberto Morais Dinis (born 25 July 1982) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a left back.

Football career

Born in Vila Real, Dinis finished his football formation at Sporting Clube de Portugal, but only represented its B-team as a senior. He made his debuts with lowly Associação Desportiva e Cultural de Santa Marta de Penaguião in the fourth division, "upgrading" to the third with C.D. Olivais e Moscavide in the following season, where he teamed up with Miguel Veloso.

In 2006–07, aged 24, Dinis first competed in the top level, appearing in seven matches for Boavista FC. He split the following campaign between C.D. Trofense and C.F. União, and started 2008–09 in division two with S.C. Beira-Mar, but was released in December 2008 after only three league appearances.

In late July 2009 Dinis moved abroad, joining Poland's Zagłębie Lubin.[1] He was released on 1 June 2011, after two years in the Ekstraklasa being relatively used.[2]
