José dos Santos Filho, best known as Adaílton (born April 16, 1984 in Salvador de Bahia) is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a defender for French club Stade Rennais FC. Adaílton was played for the Brazilian youth team as the captain of the Brazilian side which won the Under-20 World Championships in 2003.
He joined Stade Rennais from Brazilian club Vitória Bahia in the summer of 2004. He settled in very well and quickly became a regular for the Breton club.
His 2005-06 season was largely disrupted by a knee injury, which ruled him out for most part of the second half of the season. In a recent interview with the official website, the tall defender assured the fans that he wants to honour his current contract (which runs until 2007) and even plans to extend it. Adailton also stated that he and his family are very happy with their life in Brittany and have no plans to move in the near future.
Adailton, who took only three months to learn French, disputed in a total of 19 Ligue 1 matches last season.
