Alex developed an interest and passion for playing football, at a very young age, and why wouldn’t she? After all, England is regarded as the home of both old and modern-day football.

She joined Everton Football Club’s female football academy in 2001 as an 8-year-old. She progressed through the developmental teams of the football club for 9 more years, learning the drills, turns, tricks, and skills needed to make her succeed in her chosen career.

Alex made her first professional appearance for Everton women’s team at the 2011/2012 UEFA Women’s Champions League during the qualifying rounds. She made a few more appearances for the team over the next year, being kept out of the team in her favorite position by the brilliance and consistency of one of her mentors and teammate – Rachel Unitt.

When her mentor left Everton FC Women’s team at the end of the 2011 England Football Association Women’s Super League (aka FA WSL), Alex stepped up to the plate and worked tirelessly to fill her mentor’s boots in the first team. Her performance on the pitch throughout the 2012 FA WSL season was so spectacular that she was named as the Football Association’s “Young Player of the season”.

She played in the 2014 FA Women’s cup final with Everton, but they, unfortunately, lost the game to the eventual winners – Arsenal FC’s women’s team. Everton women’s football team was eventually relegated from the WSL that year, and in order to continue with her involvement in England Women National team and secure her place in it, she disappointed Everton by putting in a transfer request from the club out rightly, rather than to go out on loan and return to the team when they would have secured promotion back to the top-tier of female football in England.

At the beginning of the 2015 FA WSL league, Alex signed a two years contract with Notts County female team and played with them. Although the details of the contract were undisclosed, it was still a good deal for her to continue to showcase her skills to the whole country.

In the 2016 WSL season, she signed for Liverpool, and a new dimension to her game was revealed. She began to score more goals for her team, even though her main task in the team was to prevent the opposition from scoring against her team.
