Herson Domingos Rodrigues Alves (born 5 January 1997) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Enfield Town as a winger. He is a product of the Brentford academy.

Career[edit]

Brentford[edit]

A winger or central midfielder, Alves began his youth career at Benfica in his native Portugal and after a spell with the Inverness Caledonian Thistle academy, he moved to England to join the academy at League One club Brentford in 2011.[3][4] He was a part of the U15 team which emerged victorious in the Junior category at the 2012 Milk Cup, playing in every match and scoring in the semi-final and final.[5] Alves signed a scholarship deal at the end of the 2012–13 season, but a combination of injuries and international clearance problems meant that he had made only 16 appearances and scored one goal for the youth team by the culmination of his scholarship at the end of the 2014–15 season.[4][6][7][8]

In February 2015, Alves signed his first professional contract to be a part of the Development Squad, running until the end of the 2015–16 season.[9] He was retained for two further seasons and was loaned to non-League clubs Hampton & Richmond Borough and Sutton United,[10][11][12][13] before being released in June 2018.[14] Alves made 83 appearances and scored 22 goals at B team/Development Squad-level.[15][16][17]

Maidenhead United[edit]

On 8 June 2018, it was announced that Alves had joined National League club Maidenhead United on a permanent contract.[18] He made 14 appearances and scored two goals before falling out of favour in January 2019.[19] On 9 February 2019, Alves joined Southern League Premier Division South club Walton Casuals on a one-month loan and made four appearances.[20][21]

Arlesey Town[edit]

Alves made four appearances and scored two goals for Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division club Arlesey Town during the late months of the 2019–20 season and the early months of the 2020–21 seasons.[22]

Cray Wanderers[edit]

Alves signed for Isthmian League Premier Division club Cray Wanderers in October 2020.[23] He made three appearances before departing the club later that month.[24][25]

Cheshunt[edit]

In late October 2020, Alves transferred to Isthmian League Premier Division club Cheshunt.[25] He failed to make an appearance before the 2020–21 Isthmian League season was declared null and void in February 2021.[26]

Return to Arlesey Town[edit]

Alves began the 2021–22 season back at Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division club Arlesey Town.[22] He departed Hitchin Road for the second time in November 2021,[27] after making 15 appearances and scoring two goals.[28]

Metropolitan Police[edit]

In mid-November 2021, Alves returned to the Southern League to join Premier Division South club Metropolitan Police.[27] He made 27 appearances and scored one goal during a 2021–22 season which concluded with defeat in the playoff semi-finals.[22][29] Alves was retained for the 2022–23 season and made a season-high 45 appearances,[30] while scoring 20 goals and winning the Surrey Senior Cup.[22][31] Following the club's voluntary dropping down a step at the end of the season, he departed Imber Court in June 2023.[32]

Hanwell Town[edit]

On 7 June 2023, Alves transferred to Southern League Premier Division South club Hanwell Town.[32] He made 15 appearances and scored one goal before departing prior to mid-January 2024.[22][33]
