Claude Pierre Marie Dielna (born 14 December 1987) is a French footballer who currently plays for Sheffield Wednesday, as a Defender.

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] However, at Lorient, Dielna struggled to make a breakthrough at Lorient and left the club for Istres.[citation needed]

Dielna was a first team regular during his time at Istres, making a total of 95 appearances for the Ligue 2 team.[3][4]

Olympiacos

He signed for Olympiacos in late May 2012 as a free agent on a three-year contract.[3][4] However, Manager Leonardo Jardim placed Dielna on a loan list.[5]

Immediately after joining Olympiacos, Dielna returned to France, where he joined Sedan on a season long loan.[6] Dielna made his debut for the club, days later after joining the club, in a 2-2 draw against Caen. Dielna would go on to make twenty-five appearance and score two goals against Tours[7] and Arles-Avignon[citation needed] 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.[8] Dielna went on to make twenty-two appearance for the club, though his spell was overshadowed by claims he fell out with manager Fabrizio Ravanelli.[9] However, at the end of the season, Ajaccio were relegated to Ligue 2 and Dielna announced that he will be returning to Olympiacos.[10] Dielna cited the club's relegation was over injuries.[9]

Sheffield Wednesday

On the 30th August 2014, Dielna signed a three-year deal with English championship side Sheffield Wednesday.[11] Dielna move to the club was welcomed by Réda Johnson.[12]

Dielna made his debut for the club, where he came on as a substitute for Jacques Maghoma in the last minute, in a 1-0 win over Reading.[13] Then, on 6 December 2014, Dielna scored his first goal for the club after coming on as an 88th-minute substitute and scoring the winner in 93rd minute to win 2-1 over Blackburn Rovers.[14] His good display in the match earned him included Football League Team of the Week for the Championship.[15] Dielna is also nicknamed 'the Gymnast' due to his athletic playing style.

Personal life

Dielna is a cousin of Ronald Zubar and Stéphane Zubar, who are both professional footballers and also has a Guadaloupe extraction.[16]
