Experienced midfielder Alex joined us in August after leaving Peterborough United and has gone on to become our club captain.
After a spell during his youth with Charlton Athletic, Alex joined Southend United as a 16-year-old and he made eight league appearances for The Shrimpers. However, he had to reignite his career in non league after leaving Southend with stints at Dartford, Concord Rangers, and Braintree Town.
When Danny Cowley left Braintree Town for Lincoln City he was quick to bring Alex with him. That led to a fantastic spell with the Imps that included promotion to the Football League and a remarkable FA Cup run in 2016/17 that ended with a quarter-final defeat at Arsenal.
His fine midfield displays attracted interest from Peterborough United and he made over 50 league appearances for Posh after joining them in 2018.
He has become a firm favourite with the fans and continues to orchestrate the midfield at Plough Lane.
