Bio
Mailson Alves started his career at Brazilian outfit Sao Jose, but he flourished when he moved to the Portuguese Segunda division with Portimonense SC and played his part in the club’s second spot finish in 2009-10. He came to the Hero ISL in the 2015 season with Chennaiyin FC and formed a formidable partnership with Bernard Mendy helping Chennaiyin win the title. In 2016, he was signed by NorthEast United FC where he played nine matches as they failed to qualify for the semi-finals by a whisker. He returned to Chennaiyin the following season and starred in the side’s Hero ISL 2017-18 title-winning season, and even scored four headed goals. He was elected as the club captain for Hero ISL 2018-19 but couldn’t replicate the success as Chennaiyin’s title defence went horribly wrong. The Brazilian will be looking for redemption this season.
