Franklin Geovane de Santana Chagas (born 14 August 1996), better known as Franklin Mascote or Mascote, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Bulgarian First League club Botev Plovdiv.

Career

Born in Candeias, Bahia, Mascote began his career in professional football with AE Tiradentes de Fortaleza. He also played for teams in the countryside of São Paulo, with emphasis on SC Atibaia (currently Lemense FC), where he won the 2018 Campeonato Paulista Série A3.

In 2021 Mascote was hired by Always Ready from Bolivia, which during the COVID-19 pandemic held a series of friendly matches in Brazil. The player was one of the club's highlights in participating in the 2021 Copa Libertadores.[1] In April 2022 he was signed by Retrô, scoring two goals against Crato.[2] After standing out during the 2022 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D, he was loaned to Brusque, but was unsuccessful returning later.[3] He also had a spell at Busan IPark in the Korean second division, before returning to Retrô in 2024.[4]

Personal life

Franklin received the nickname mascot because he played as one during his childhood for his city's amateur team, Santa Cruz de Candeias.[2]
