Lee Allinson, manager of Pitching In Southern Football League Premier Division South club Hendon, has beaten off considerable competition for the signature of wide midfielder Wilson Carvalho.
The 28-year-old Portuguese winger had signed for Macclesfield Town in September 2020 but after their sad demise, joined Vanarama National League South outfit Hampton & Richmond Borough a month later.
He was born in Lisbon and began his career at Fulham before making the move to Hertfordshire in order to continue his youth development at Stevenage.
He then joined the Nike Academy and further to this, went on to sign his first professional contract with Port Vale back in 2013.
Whilst at Vale Park, he furthered his experience by completing loan moves at several clubs - most notably at Corby Town, where he secured a permanent move in the summer of 2014.
The 2014/15 campaign proved to be a memorable one for both the club and player as Corby secured promotion from the Southern Premier with the wide man finding the back of the net on 10 occasions in 42 league starts.
Further to this, he moved down the A6 in order to join Kettering Town in November 2015.
The pacey winger went on to make 63 appearances for the Poppies in a spell lasting just under two-years, during which time he weighed in with 20 goals.
In the summer of 2018, he signed for Stratford Town where he became a key player in the Bards reaching the Southern Premier Division Central play-offs and League Cup final.
During the campaign, he made 52 appearances and scored 15 goals with his rich vein of form attracting interest from several EFL clubs.
Ultimately, he opted for a move to Lancashire in order to sign for League One side Accrington Stanley and went on to make 13 appearances for Stanley, scoring his first professional goal in the EFL Trophy clash against Fleetwood Town.
