Gerson Levi Mayen Villavicencio (born February 9, 1989) is a Salvadoran footballer who currently plays for Santa Tecla in the Salvadoran Primera División.
Mayen attended Manual Arts High School, and started playing soccer when he was young with a club named Gilbert Lindsay Youth Soccer Club, then with the club soccer with Alta Loma Arsenal where he won four Cal South State Cups, four Regional Championships and three National Championships. Mayen also won two Golden Boot awards. Rather than opting to play collegiate soccer, Mayen joined the Chivas USA U-18 team.
Mayen was signed to a full professional contract by Chivas USA on March 27, 2008 after training with the club throughout preseason. He did not make an appearance with the first team in his rookie season, but made 12 appearances in the MLS Reserve Division, playing primarily as a defender and defensive midfielder. He made his professional debut on 29 March 2009, in Chivas's game against FC Dallas.
On August 6, 2010, Chivas USA sent Mayen, along with teammate Chukwudi Chijindu, on loan to USSF Division 2 Professional League side Miami FC. Mayen returned to Florida in July 2011 when he was loaned to NASL club Fort Lauderdale Strikers.
Mayen was traded with Justin Braun to MLS expansion side Montreal Impact for James Riley and allocation money on November 23, 2011. However, Mayen was waived by Montreal on March 1, 2012 prior to the start of the 2012 season.
