READ | Football's a roller-coaster: Jamshedpur FC's Hartley stresses on mental health’s importance “I enjoyed the previous season a lot,” he said, “I want to give my best in the upcoming season and repay the faith put on me by the Gaffer, the club and the fans and help us win the ISL trophy.” Alex has amassed a total of 43 goals and 23 assists in a total of 337 appearances in his career. “Alex showed fantastic character and team spirit last season as he picked up an injury and rather than let the team down took pain killing injections to help the team. He is someone who can help us over the line in tight encounters and help us control and dominate the midfield in our games along with a spark of creativity to assist our forward line.” Alex also has the experience of playing in Asia with stints in the highly competitive K League 2 with Suwon FC and FC Anyang and most recently with Ho Chi Minh City FC in V.League 1.
