Cristian Alex da Silva Santos (born 1 December 1993), commonly known as Cristian Alex or Cristian, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Championship club PSPS Pekanbaru. [1]
Having started his career with Cruzeiro, Cristian joined Thai side Phuket in 2013, following an agreement between the two clubs. [2] After an impressive 18 goals in 40 games, [3] he transferred to Portuguese side Marítimo in early 2015. [4] He failed to impress during his time with the Primeira Liga side, and left the same year to return to Brazil. He played for Bragantino for one game, before being offered a contract with Turkish side Boluspor. [5]
He did not accept the contract offer with the TFF First League side, and instead joined another Brazilian team, Sorocaba, ahead of the 2016 Paulista A2. [6]
After a short spell with Lithuanian side Stumbras, Cristian joined Japanese side FC Gifu in early 2017. [3]
On 13 August 2025, Indonesian Championship club PSPS Pekanbaru announced the signing of Alex. [7]
