Alex, who is 18, joined York City as a 7 year old and worked his way through the age groups, playing for their academy in successive National League Cup finals.

Darlington manager Steve Watson has kept an eye on Alex’s progress since he was York manager, and invited him to take part in our pre season friendlies in which he has subsequently done well.
