Club career
[edit]Born in Nanuque, Minas Gerais, Alex Silva joined Atlético Mineiro's youth setup in January 2013.[1] On 20 October he made his first team – and Série A – debut, playing the last 12 minutes in a 1–0 home win against Flamengo.[2]
On 22 January 2014 Alex Silva was definitely promoted to the main squad by manager Paulo Autuori.[3] He renewed his link with Galo on 10 March, running until 2017,[4] and appeared in 40 matches during the campaign (22 in the league).
Alex Silva subsequently had unassuming loan spells at Sport Recife, Ferroviária and América Mineiro before returning to Galo in May 2017, acting as a backup to Marcos Rocha. On 19 January 2018, he joined Goiás also in a temporary deal,[5] and helped the club achieve promotion to the top tier.
On 10 January 2019, Alex Silva was presented at Avaí, after agreeing to a season-long loan deal.[6] After just one league match, he played the 2020 Campeonato Mineiro at Coimbra,[7] before rescinding his link with Atlético on 19 May of that year.[8]
On 19 June 2020, Alex Silva was announced at Operário Ferroviário.[9] He subsequently signed for Água Santa,[10] where he was a starter during the 2022 Campeonato Paulista; in February, during a match against Novorizontino he fainted on the field unconscious, being led to a hospital by ambulance.[11]
On 4 March 2022, Alex Silva joined Vila Nova.[12] In January 2023, he moved abroad for the first time in his career after signing for Sudan Premier League side Al-Merrikh,[13] but returned to Brazil in April, after the start of the Sudanese civil war.[14]
On 28 July 2023, Alex Silva agreed to a deal with ABC,[15] before returning to Água Santa in November. On 1 April 2024, he moved to Mirassol on loan,[16] and was a backup to Lucas Ramon in the club's first-ever promotion to the top tier.
On 3 January 2025, Alex Silva was announced at Portuguesa.[17]
