Early career
Born in Kumanovo, Dimitrievski graduated from Rabotnički's youth setup.[citation needed] He made his debut for the club on 24 October 2010, starting in a 2–0 home win against Vardar.[citation needed]
Dimitrievski was Rabotnički's first-choice during the 2011–12 season, also appearing with the side in the season's UEFA Europa League. He signed a contract with Spanish La Liga club Granada on 23 August 2011, with the deal only being effective in December.
Granada
On 30 December 2011, Dimitrievski was loaned to Cádiz.[3] However, he only appeared with the reserves in Tercera División and moved to another reserve team, Granada B in the summer of 2012.[4] On 12 October 2013, he was the last of three of the team's players sent off in a 2–1 loss at Atlético Sanluqueño for the season's Segunda División B.[5]
On 23 August 2014, after profiting from Roberto's suspension and Oier Olazábal's injury, Dimitrievski made his first team – and La Liga – debut, starting in a 2–1 home win against Deportivo La Coruña.[6] However, his spell at the club was mainly associated with the B-side.[citation needed]
Gimnàstic
On 16 August 2016, Dimitrievski signed a two-year contract with Segunda División club Gimnàstic, mainly as a cover to injured Manolo Reina.[7] He made his debut on 7 September in the second round of the Copa del Rey, a 1–0 extra-time win at home to Numancia.[8]
After Sebastián Saja's poor run of form, Dimitrievski became a regular starter for Gimnàstic in October 2016, but his run only lasted until December as Reina returned from injury. On 13 August 2017, after the latter's departure, he extended his contract until 2020.[9]
Rayo Vallecano
On 31 August 2018, Dimitrievski was loaned to La Liga club Rayo Vallecano for a season.[10] Initially a backup to Alberto García, he became the club's first-choice in November.[11][12]
On 31 January 2019, Dimitrievski signed a permanent three-and-a-half-year contract with the club.[13] A year later, his deal was extended until June 2024.[14]
Dimitrievski was the primary goalkeeper for Rayo's 2020–21 Segunda División promotion season, though Luca Zidane was in goal for the play-offs due to UEFA Euro 2020.[15] On 2 December, in a 1–0 loss to fellow Community of Madrid team Leganés, he was sent off for insulting the referee and handed a four-match ban.[16]
Valencia
On 12 June 2024, it was announced that from the start of July Dimitrievski would join fellow top-tier club Valencia on a free transfer, signing a two-year deal, with an option for two more years.[17] He made his debut on 26 November in the first round of the Copa del Rey, a 1–0 win away to sixth-tier Parla Escuela.[18] Due to injury to first-choice Giorgi Mamardashvili, he played his first La Liga game for the club away to Real Valladolid on 13 December,[19] losing 1–0 and falling to last place in the table.[20]

International career
After representing Macedonia at under-17, under-19 and under-21 levels, Dimitrievski made his senior international debut on 12 November 2015, starting in a 4–1 friendly win over Montenegro at the Philip II National Arena.[21] In May 2021, he was called up for the delayed UEFA Euro 2020 finals, his country's first major international tournament.[22] He played all three games in a group stage elimination, and saved a penalty from Ruslan Malinovskyi in a 2–1 loss to Ukraine in Bucharest.[23]
