Alex is a 6’3” goalkeeper who has become No.1 at his hometown club, Huddersfield Town.
He has represented England at U16, U17s, U18s and U19s but it was with the U17s that he enjoyed most of his caps thus far.
Having been understudy to Jason Steele at the U17s European Championship in 2007, he then claimed the No.1 shirt for the subsequent FIFA U17s World Cup in Korea, keeping goal for all five of England’s games as they reached the quarter-finals.
He received his first call-up from Stuart Pearce for the Under-21s crucial European Championship Qualifiers against Portugal and Lithuania in September 2010.
