Alison playing for Santos in 2017

Born in Mongaguá, São Paulo, Alison joined Santos FC's youth setup in 2004, aged 11. On 10 September 2011 he made his professional debut, starting in a 1–0 home success over Cruzeiro.[1] However, after only two minutes in field, he had to be replaced due to a knee injury, which kept him sidelined for six months.[2] Alison later suffered the same injury when he was due to return, only appearing in a match in January 2013.[3]

On 16 August 2013, after retaining a starting spot under Claudinei Oliveira, Alison renewed his link with Santos until December 2017.[4] However, he suffered an injury during the latter stages of the campaign, and only returned in March 2014.

On 18 July 2014 Alison scored his first professional goal, netting the first of a 2–0 home win against Palmeiras.[5] In February of the following year, however, he suffered another serious knee injury, being sidelined for eight months.[6][7] He returned to the fields on 29 October, coming on as a late substitute in a 3–1 home win against São Paulo FC.[8]

A backup to Thiago Maia and Renato, Alison only appeared rarely in 2016 before suffering a knee sprain. He went through an arthroscopy in July,[9] being declared fit to play in September.[10]

On 20 January 2017, Alison was loaned to Red Bull Brasil until the end of the 2017 Campeonato Paulista, in order to regain match fitness.[11] Upon returning, he started to feature regularly with the first team under Levir Culpi, becoming a starter after the departure of Thiago Maia to Lille OSC.

Alison made his Copa Libertadores debut on 10 August 2017, starting in a 1–0 home win against Atlético Paranaense. On 5 December, he renewed his contract until the end of 2022.[12]
