Youth career

[edit | edit source]

Having played junior football at Moreton Bay United, De Lima joined the Brisbane Roar academy in 2021, starting in the under-14s age group.[2] Despite his young age during his time at the Roar, he made appearances for the Roar's NPL first grade team, before moving to the Central Coast Mariners Academy for the 2024 season.

Central Coast Mariners

[edit | edit source]

De Lima started his time at the Mariners playing mostly in the Under-20s team, before breaking through into the NPL first grade team in the back half of that 2024 season.[3] De Lima ended up making 15 appearances for the NPL first grade team that season, and scored 8 goals in helping the team avoid relegation, including a hat trick at home against Wollongong Wolves to come from 2-0 down to win 3-2.[4] De Lima's form saw him rewarded with a 3 year scholarship contract with the club to join their senior squad ahead of the 2024-25 A-League season,[5] still only at the age of 17.[6]

De Lima made his debut for the Mariners' senior team in the AFC Champions League Elite, coming off the bench in the 83rd minute against Chinese club Shandong Taishan on 17 September 2024.[7] De Lima made his A-League debut against his former youth club, Brisbane Roar, scoring 8 minutes after being substituted onto the pitch and running over to his family in the stands to celebrate with a hug.[8]

Youth international career

He was called up in May 2025 for the Australia men's national under-18 soccer team, to take part in the 2025 UEFA Friendship Cup commencing in early June.[9]
