Junior Mailly (born 18 December 1998) is a French professional footballer who plays as a winger for Maharlika Taguig of the Philippines Football League.[1]

Career[edit]

Youth career[edit]

Mailly grew up in Paris, France, and played for various club academies in Europe, including the youth team of Boulogne-Billancourt.[2] In 2018, his family moved to Nevada in the United States.[3]

Early club career[edit]

After moving to the US, Mailly lived in Reno, Nevada.[4] There, he played football for Battle Born FC, a developmental football team, for one season.[5][6]

In 2022, he tried out for the San Francisco Glens of the USL League Two, and was the only player from tryouts that day to make it to the team.[7][4] In his first season with the club, he netted five goals in nine matches.[8][9][10][11] He would renew for another season before departing in early 2024.[2]

Maharlika Taguig[edit]

In late 2023, Mailly participated in a combine led by Anton del Rosario, aimed at giving US-based players a chance to play for teams in the Philippines Football League.[12] Mailly signed with del Rosario's team Maharlika Taguig shortly after as a foreign reinforcement for the 2024 season.[1][13][14]

He made his debut for the club in the opening matchday against Tuloy, where Maharlika won 3–2. He scored his first goal for the club in a 4–2 win over Philippine Air Force,[15] and scored a hat-trick the following matchday in a 3–1 win over Don Bosco Garelli.[16]
