Career

Alex Alves has spent his most of his career to date in Brazil. He spent his youth career with Ituano. His professional career began with Sertãozinho, he spent two years with Sertãozinho before leaving to join Atlético Goianiense. Following a short stint with the aforementioned club, he left to sign for Santa Cruz. He stayed with the Rio Grande do Sul based team before going on the move again, this time joining Mogi Mirim. He spent four years at Mogi Mirim, making 28 appearances despite leaving the club three times on loan during that time.[1]

His first loan was to Portuguese club Trofense, he made 13 appearances in all competitions in what was his first spell outside of Brazil before returning to Mogi Mirim. Next came loans to Marília and ABC respectively, he failed to register a league appearance for the latter but did play 10 times for the former. In 2014, Alves left Mogi Mirim and agreed to join Santa Cruz of Pernambuco.[1]

He was named on Santa Cruz's substitutes bench nine times but didn't make an appearance before leaving. Then came moves to three clubs in two seasons, but Alves again found playing time extremely limited as he did not make a single appearance for either São Bento, Campinense or Piracicaba.[1] He left the latter on 12 April 2016.[2]

At the start of 2017 he was part of the Altos participating in 2017 Copa do Nordeste and 2017 Copa do Brasil, but new Sampaio Corrêa coach Francisco Diá specifically requested him for the team, so he transferred at the end of February.[3] He moved to Bragantino at the end of the season, initially contracting just for the 2018 Campeonato Paulista season, but later signing a deal until the end of 2020.[4][5] He became part of the Red Bull Bragantino squad when CA Bragantino merged with Red Bull Brasil in April 2019.[6]
