He made his league debut in April 2012, when he came on as a substitute for Martin Torp in the 84th minute on the fourth matchday of that season against Strømmen IF.

[5] After promotion, Dieng made his Tippeligaen debut in April 2015 against Bodø/Glimt, recording an assist to compatriot Jean Alassane Mendy in a 3–1 win.

[11] Dieng then moved to Austria in January 2016 to second division club SKN St. Pölten, signing a contract until June 2018.

After half a year without a club, Dieng moved to Wolfsberger AC from the Austrian Football Bundesliga in January 2020, where he received a contract running until June 2020.

[22] On 20 July 2023, having spent the first half of the year with Zagłębie's reserve side, Dieng left the club by mutual consent.
