Dante joined the Dons US college football where he developed at Georgetown University having been a product of New York City FC elite academy.

On his return to Pittodrie, Dante was involved in several of the early season matches in 2023-2024 and on 14th September the Club announced that he had signed a contarct extension that would take him to 2026. He celebrated by scoring his first Aberdeen goal against Eintracht Frankfurt on the 21st of the same month.
Although injuries blighted Dante's chances in the 2024-2025 season, he pushed his way into the manager's thoughts and played his part, mainly from the subs bench, but capped the season by coming on as a substitutes in the Scottish Cup Final and scoring a perfect penatly kick in the 4-3 shoot-out defeat of Celtic.
