Teixeira began his career in the local Londrina team in his home country [3] . At the age of 16, he decided to move to Europe and signed a contract with the Slovak youth team Kosice [4] . In 2009, Dionatan was watched by a number of English teams, such as Middlesbrough , Blackburn Rovers , Newcastle United and Manchester City [5] . Teixeira returned to Kosice in April 2009 and made his team debut on April 18, 2009 in a match against Dubnica club [6] . Due to the lack of chances of joining Kosice, Dionatan went on loan to Slovan , but never played a match for the club.

In March 2013, he joined the team of the Slovak Super League Dukla .

The beginning of Dionathan’s career at Stoke City was complicated by the fact that he broke his leg in training, this injury did not allow him to play most of the 2014/15 season [10] . He made his debut for Stoke City on February 21, 2015, replacing his match against Aston Villa .
He died on November 5, 2017 as a result of a heart attack [11] .
