Born in Recife, Pernambuco, Diego Silva was a Náutico youth graduate. In January 2013 he was promoted to the main squad, and made his senior debut late in the month by starting in a 2–2 Campeonato Pernambucano away draw against Chã Grande/Decisão. [1]
On 16 October 2013 Diego Silva made his Série A debut, coming on as a late substitute for Derley in a 0–3 away loss against São Paulo.

After being rarely used in 2014, Diego Silva was a regular starter in 2015. He scored his first professional goal on 16 May 2015, scoring a last-minute winner in a victory at Boa Esporte. [4]
In July 2015, Diego Silva suffered a knee injury, being sidelined for two months. He subsequently lost his starting spot after his return, and was released. [5]
On 13 January 2015 Diego Silva joined Santos, being initially assigned to the B-team. [6] Sixteen days later he was promoted to the main squad, due to limited options in his position. [7]
