During his tenure with the Bulldogs, Alex played an instrumental role in our journey to victory, as we triumphed in two National Finals. These accomplishments stand as a testament to his exceptional abilities and the impact he had on our team's success.

Alex's talents extended beyond our club, as he represented GB at international level. He proudly wore the national team’s jersey as part of the Under-18 and Under-20 teams, embodying the spirit of our nation on the global stage.

As we reflect upon the loss of this remarkable individual, our hearts go out to Alex's parents, Alan and Sara, as well as his extended family, friends, and all those who had the privilege of knowing him during his time at the Bradford Bulldogs. We share in your grief and offer our deepest sympathies.
