Alex joined towards the end of last season, making four appearances and scoring once. He then had a strong pre season this year scoring three in seven, including a couple of long range strikes against MFL sides Leamington Hibs and Enville, and played our first game against Welland before his work lead to his absence for the other games. Now back and rearing to go, Alex talks us through his footballing history.

For those that don’t know, who have you played for previously?

I have played football for as long as I can remember playing for Candelaria in Tenerife and then moving around I played here and there a little but nothing serious until I moved back to England at 14 I played for Kidderminster Lions U16 and I played up a year for Kidderminster Lions U18. Then at 18 I was at Bewdley FC for half a season but went and joined Worcester Olympians for 2 seasons which I enjoyed until I joined up to the military. I played for Carterton town as I was getting settled in at work while playing for RAF. During that time is where I started playing for NDV towards the end of last season and have enjoyed it since which is why my Saturdays are spent playing for NVD now. I'm happy with the direction of this team and it where it wants to be!

Favourite moment of your football career to date?

Its hard to say I don't really have one, not that I can remember anyway but I can say everyday I play football is a favourite of mine.

How are you finding life at NDV?

Pretty good to be honest, its all about the boys around you and the management. I settled in quickly all thanks to them and being away for a while there isn't much more I'd like to do than go and play a game of football.

Favourite moment so far at NDV?

I haven't been around long so still finding my feet but if I had to pick... sadly it was only a friendly but the 25-30 yard rocket to top bin against the level of standard we are aiming to play in the future.

Favourite game this season?

Unfortunately not played a game yet as I've been away with work but I'm back now and itching to go once this pandemic decides to calm down.

Aims for the season?

Just to keep on winning and putting 110 percent in every game hopefully setting up and scoring a few.

Is there a certain pro player you try to base your game on and if so why?

I like different things about different players so I don't really base it on a specific person but I've been told my style of play matches Memphis Depay's.

Footballing idol?

I would say CR7, the guy is the definition of hard work he is a machine.

Superstitions if any?

I wouldn't say I have one, I just thank god right before the whistle blows at kick off and that's me ready to go.
