Coach Hopkins’ Take: “Alex is an exciting attacking midfielder that we think is a perfect fit for us. He is very comfortable playing in half spaces and is devastating off the pass or dribble. He also relishes the pressing side of the game without the ball and has a wonderful growth mindset that will allow him to be disciplined in our system of play.”
