Dionisio Emanuel Villalba Rojano (born 21 December 1989), commonly known as Dioni, is a Spanish footballer who plays for Polish club Lech Poznań as a striker.

Football career

Born in Málaga, Andalusia, Dioni joined Deportivo de La Coruña in 2010 at the age of 20, being assigned to the reserves initially.[1] He only made five competitive appearances with the first team during his tenure,[2] his La Liga debut coming on 23 September 2010 when he came on as a second-half substitute for Adrián López in a 0–1 away loss against Villarreal CF.[3]

In the summer of 2012, Dioni signed with Udinese Calcio, being consecutively loaned to CD Leganés (Segunda División B),[4] Hércules CF (Segunda División, where he scored his first and only goal as a professional in a 2–2 home draw to RCD Mallorca on 15 September 2013[5])[6] and Cádiz CF (third level)[7] and failing to play any official matches with the Italians. He met the same fate at his next club Granada CF, having temporary spells at Leganés,[8] Real Oviedo[9] and Racing de Santander – all sides competed in division three.[10]

On 6 July 2016, Dioni moved to CF Fuenlabrada on a three-year contract, netting 24 times in his first season in an eventual elimination in the third tier promotion play-offs.[11][12] On 10 December 2017, early into the following campaign, he scored five goals in the 7–0 home routing of Coruxo FC.[13]

On 1 August 2018, 28-year-old Dioni moved abroad for the first time in his career, signing a two-year deal with Polish club Lech Poznań.[14]
