Club career

edit

Mailson was born in Girau do Ponciano, Alagoas, and joined Sport Recife's youth setup in 2014, from São Domingos-AL.[1] He made his first team debut on 4 April 2017, starting in a 2–2 Campeonato Pernambucano home draw against Salgueiro.[2]

Promoted to the main squad for the 2018 season, Mailson made his Série A debut on 24 April, in a 1–1 home draw against Botafogo, as starter Magrão was injured and immediate backup Agenor asked to leave the club.[3] He renewed his contract until December 2021 on 23 May,[4] and played 13 league matches during the campaign as his side was relegated.

Mailson began the 2019 season as a starter ahead of Magrão, who subsequently left the club, and renewed his contract until 2022 on 16 September.[5] In October, an injury sidelined him for the rest of the year.[6]

Upon returning, Mailson lost his starting spot to Luan Polli, with both subsequently sharing the first-choice status throughout the season.[7]

On 22 July 2022, Mailson signed a three-year contract with Saudi Arabian club Al-Taawoun.[8]

Personal life

edit

Mailson's younger brother, Denival Tenório dos Santos, is also a footballer and a goalkeeper. He too was groomed at Sport.[1]
