Carvalho counts Port Vale and Stevenage as his former employers.<\/p>\n<p>Carvalho, a tricky winger, first met Stanley&#8217;s assistant manager Jimmy Bell at Vale when he was the club&#8217;s Development squad coach.<\/p>\n<p>The winger has featured numerous times for Stanley in pre-season; however, it was his performance in the 2-1 win against French side Marseille that was the deciding factor in which he was offered a contract.<\/p>\n<p>His pace and clever footwork to beat defenders got supporters talking on Twitter. Carvalho delivered another encouraging display in last night&#8217;s draw with Warrington Town.<\/p>\n<p>Stanley boss John Coleman <a href=\"https:\/\/accringtonstanley.co.uk\/2019\/07\/stanley-sign-wilson\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cWilson has been on trial with us in pre-season and we have been impressed by him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe needed to boost our attacking choices and Wilson will provide another option for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to signing Carvalho, Stanley have retained <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/cb48b0d0\/Erico-Sousa\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Erico De Sousa<\/a> on a one-year contract extension.<\/p>\n<p>The former Portugal Under-19 international made five appearances for Accrington last season. 24-year-old De Sousa also has the option of another one-year deal following the 2019-20 season&#8217;s conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking after signing a new contract, De Sousa said:\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m happy to sign a new deal, obviously, I didn\u2019t get much game-time last season but I\u2019m glad that the manager still has faith in me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now we\u2019re still trying to get to know the other lads that have come in, but I think we\u2019re trying to push towards the Play-Offs and I personally believe that we can get there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"wJlfJyv6RX9iLlCOtjOURw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/952331362\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'wJlfJyv6RX9iLlCOtjOURw',sig:'KbeLC3GQS7gpDUZ9I6FLixztsAbFq2DLMR9hSGfq4X4=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'952331362',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Accrington Stanley have signed winger Wilson Carvalho on a one-year contract for free.
