Career
Alex began his career in the youth system of Brazilian powerhouse Atlético Paranaense and earned his first team debut at age 18. His performances in South America's top club competition, the Copa Libertadores, attracted the interest of many clubs and led to a trial spell in July 2004 in England with Chelsea. He was offered more time to adapt but opted against the move to seal a dream deal with Santos. After a successful season, he pursued his dream of playing in Europe and was offered a one-week trial pending a medical with La Liga outfit Real Betis. He subsequently failed the medical due to a back injury and missed the 2007 season. He has since enjoyed spells in Ecuador with Deportivo Quito and Aucas before signing for Italian Serie B side Salernitana in July 2009.[1][2] His time in Italy was cut short due to the club's financial troubles and eventual bankruptcy. He has had offers from Cyprus and has attracted interest from a host of South American clubs, but is keen to remain in Europe. Alex is best known for his pace, strength, and his dribbling ability, which led to him being nicknamed "The English Lord" by the Ecuadorian media.
