Fernando Alberto Morais Dinis (born 25 July 1982 in Vila Real) is a Portuguese footballer who plays as a left defender.

Football career

Dinis made his football grooming at Sporting Clube de Portugal, but only represented its B team. He made his professional debuts with lowly Associação Desportiva e Cultural de Santa Marta de Penaguião, in the fourth level, "upgrading" to Clube Desportivo dos Olivais e Moscavide in the following season, and teaming up with Miguel Veloso.

In 2006–07, Dinis made his first division debuts, appearing in seven matches for Boavista FC. He split the following season between C.D. Trofense and União da Madeira, and started 2008–09 in the second level 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. He was released on 1 June 2011, after two seasons in the Ekstraklasa being relatively used.
