Claude Pierre Marie Dielna (born 14 December 1987) was a French professional footballer who last played as a central defender for Ħamrun Spartans in Malta.

Career

Born in Clichy-la-Garenne, Dielna started his career at Caen before moving to Lorient, where he signed his first professional contract in April 2007, which he described as his greatest sporting joy.[2][3] However, at Lorient, Dielna struggled to make a breakthrough at Lorient and left the club for Istres, signing a one-year contract in the summer of 2008.[4]

Dielna was a first team regular during his time at Istres, making a total of 95 appearances for the Ligue 2 team.[5][6] He also helped the side win the French national titles during his time there.[7]

Olympiacos

He signed for Olympiacos in late May 2012 as a free agent on a three-year contract.[5][6] However, Manager Leonardo Jardim placed Dielna on a loan list.[8]

Immediately after joining Olympiacos, Dielna returned to France, where he joined

Arles-Avignon[11]
for the club.

At the start of the 2013-14 season, Dielna loaned out again to join Ligue 1 side Ajaccio on a season long loan.[12] Dielna went on to make twenty-two appearances for the club, though his spell was overshadowed by claims he fell out with manager Fabrizio Ravanelli.[13] However, at the end of the season, Ajaccio were relegated to Ligue 2 and Dielna announced that he will be returning to Olympiacos.[14] Dielna cited the club's relegation was over injury problems.[13]

Sheffield Wednesday

On 30 August 2014, Dielna signed a three-year deal with English championship side Sheffield Wednesday.[15] Dielna's move to the club was welcomed by Réda Johnson.[16]

Dielna made his debut for the club, where he came on as a substitute for

Genoa.[22] Despite this, he continued that run until an injury struck out for the rest of the season.[23][24]
In his first season at Sheffield Wednesday, Dielna made twenty-five appearances and scoring three times in all competitions.

In the 2015-16 season, Dielna, however, found himself out of the first team, due to his own injury concern and was dropped out by new Manager Carlos Carvalhal.[25][26] With his future at the club uncertain, Dielna was told by the club that he can leave the club on loan.[27] He was subsequently loaned out to Slovan Bratislava for the rest of the season.[28] He made his Slovan Bratislava debut, where he came on as a second-half substitute, in a 1-0 win over Železiarne Podbrezová on 5 March 2016.[29] Dielna went on to make six appearances for the club before returning to his parent club at the end of the season.

In the 2016-17 season, Dielna was placed on a transfer list by Manager Carvalhal upon returning to his parent club.[30] Amid to being placed on the transfer list, Dielna was disciplined by the club for breaching the club's policy on social media and was subsequently suspended.[31] He remained out of the first team throughout the most of the season.[32] After being told by the club that he can leave the club,[33] Dielna joined Romanian side Dinamo București on loan for the rest of the season.[34] He made his debut for club, starting the whole game, in a 2-1 loss against Concordia Chiajna on 13 February 2017.[35] Although he suffered a muscle injury later in the season,[36] Dielna managed to regain his first team since his return and made seventeen appearances for the side.[37][38]

Upon returning to his parent club, Dielna was released by the club at the end of the 2016-17 season.[39]

New England Revolution

After being released by Sheffield Wednesday, Dielna was linked a move to Dinamo București.[40] Instead, Dielna signed with Major League Soccer side New England Revolution on 28 July 2017.[41]

New England released Dielna at the end of their 2018 season.[42]
