On 23 December 2014, Dener was loaned to fellow top tier club Chapecoense.[6] An ever-present figure during the season, he signed a permanent three-year contract with the club on 13 January 2016.[7]
Death
On 28 November 2016, whilst at the service of Chapecoense, Dener was among the fatalities of the LaMia Airlines Flight 2933 accident in the Colombian village of Cerro Gordo, La Unión, Antioquia.[8]
