Born on March 31, 1997, in Bankstown, New South Wales, Australia, Mailata was a promising rugby league player, representing the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs under-18s and the South Sydney Rabbitohs under-20s teams, before becoming a professional footballer.

In 2024, Mailata signed another extension, a three-year deal worth $66 million with the Eagles.
