He signed his first professional contract on 18 November 2014.[8]

On 2 September 2016, Diba joined National League North side FC United of Manchester on a one-month loan.[9]

On 1 April 2017, Diba joined NPL Division One North side Glossop North End on loan.

He was one of two players released by Rochdale at the end of the season.[10]

In September 2017 he joined Ashton United.[11]

In February 2018 he joined Mossley.[12]
