Alexandre Egea (born 6 June 1990), commonly known as Alê, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for América Mineiro.

Club career

Born in Osasco, São Paulo, Alê represented Corinthians and Primeira Camisa as a youth.^[1] He made his senior debut with the latter's first team on 1 May 2010, starting in a 5–2 Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão home routing of Joseense.

Alê scored his first senior goal on 10 July 2010, netting the last of a 3–0 home success over União Suzano. On 15 December, he signed for Inter de Limeira on loan for the ensuing Campeonato Paulista Série A3,^[2] but was released the following 14 February after playing only one match.^[3]

On 2 September 2011, after returning to his parent club, Alê moved to Taubaté for the Copa Paulista,^[4] but featured sparingly. In 2012 he signed for Osasco, being an important unit for the side before moving to neighbouring Grêmio Osasco.

In December 2013, after a short loan period at Série C side Grêmio Barueri, Alê was announced in the squad of Grêmio Osasco's affiliate club Audax Rio.^[5] After featuring rarely, he was released, and joined Uberlândia for the 2015 campaign.

After helping Uberlândia win the Campeonato Mineiro Módulo II, Alê served temporary deals at Coimbra, URT,^[6] Caldense^[7] and Cuiabá.^[8] Back to the club for the 2018 season,^[9] he impressed during the year's Campeonato Mineiro, and returned to Cuiabá on 20 April 2018, now in a permanent deal.^[10]

During his first season, Alê was a regular starter as his side achieved promotion to Série B. In his second, he remained a starter as his side lifted the Campeonato Matogrossense and the Copa Verde.

On 10 December 2019, Alê agreed to a one-year contract with América Mineiro, still in the second division.^[11]
