The 23 year old revealing, "I'm really happy to be back at Gainsborough and can't wait to get going this Saturday." Curtis Woodhouse was delighted to link back up with player he took to Tadcaster in the summer, stating: "Alex is another player I am delighted to bring in. He is a player I know really well from working with before I came to Gainsborough. And I am sure the Trinity fans will know all about him too."

"His game is developing and developing every season. At Tadcaster I felt he was the best midfielder in the league. I didn't see anyone better than him. I'm looking forward to working with him again."

Alex will be eligible for selection on Saturday pending completion of the relevant paperwork.
