In 2017, Souths offered Mailata a $5000 deal to play for their feeder team, North Sydney.

With no American football experience, Mailata was selected by the Eagles as a seventh-round pick in the 2018 NFL draft.

Just two years later, Mailata made his NFL debut in a 27-17 loss to Washington. He featured in last year’s Super Bowl, with his Eagles suffering a 38-35 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
