Club career
Born in Madrid, Díaz finished his development with hometown club AD Alcorcón, and made his senior debut with the reserves in the 2003–04 season. He was promoted to the first team the following year, scoring six goals in the Segunda División B.

Díaz joined local giants Real Madrid in the summer of 2005, being assigned to their reserves in the Segunda División. He played his first game as a professional on 20 December 2005 by appearing in a 0–0 home draw against UE Lleida, and scored his first goal on 15 April of the following year in a 2–1 loss at Elche CF.

On 10 July 2006, Díaz signed with fellow second-division side Elche. After losing first-choice status in his second year, he moved to RCD Mallorca in July 2008, being subsequently loaned to RC Celta de Vigo in the same league.

Díaz returned to the Balearic Islands in June 2009 but, after not being included in manager Gregorio Manzano's plans, he was loaned to Recreativo de Huelva in January 2010. He left Mallorca in June, and joined Xerez CD the following month.

After one and a half years at the Estadio Municipal de Chapín, Díaz signed with second-tier Girona FC for an undisclosed fee. He failed to make an impact for the Andalusians, terminating his contract on 26 June 2012 and joining CD Lugo a day after.

Díaz agreed to a one-year deal at La Liga club UD Almería on 28 June 2013. He made his debut in the competition on 19 August, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–3 home defeat against Villarreal CF.

In late March 2014, starting on the 24th and after 20 scoreless league appearances, Díaz scored in consecutive games: he started by contributing one goal to a 4–3 win over Real Sociedad, then scored his team's first in the 2–2 draw with Valencia CF also at the Estadio de los Juegos Mediterráneos. He added a further two during the campaign, helping to narrowly avoid relegation.

On 23 July 2014, Díaz joined Real Valladolid in division two. He moved to CD Numancia of the same league on 15 July of the following year.
