"Eleias is a talented young Goalkeeper. We are excited to see him grow in our environment.” said Phillip Dos Santos, Valour's head coach. “He’s a solid guy, very determined to succeed. I believe he’s ready for the next step, he will compete for a regular spot in the squad, this will be healthy for the team and will push Jono to be at his best as well."
Himaras becomes the second goalkeeper signed to Valour’s 2025 roster, after it was announced last year that the club exercised the option on Jonathan Viscosi’s contract.
The team now includes goalkeepers Jonathan Viscosi and Eleias Himaras; defenders Gianfranco Facchineri and Roberto Alarcón; midfielders Diogo Ressurreição, Safwane Mlah, Zachary Sukunda, Raphael Ohin, Jordan Faria, and Dante Campbell; and forwards Shaan Hundal and Kian Williams.
