He spent two seasons with Wimbledon and signed with Gillingham in July 2022.
Club career
[edit]Early career
[edit]Alexander was born in Newham and supported his local team West Ham United as a child. He joined their academy in 2003, remaining there for ten years before being released as an 18-year-old in summer 2013.[4][5] He was diagnosed with Osgood–Schlatter disease, which causes knee pain but gave him a growth spurt during his last year as a schoolboy.[6] This meant that he had to play through the pain during the 2011–12 season, and though he managed to join the under-18 team during the 2012–13 season, he was not given a professional contract by the club.[6] He instead signed a one-year deal with Port Vale but did not make any first-team appearances for the "Valiants". On 13 December 2013, he joined Northern Premier League Premier Division side Ilkeston on a one-month loan deal.[7] Vale manager Micky Adams confirmed that Alexander would not be offered a new contract in April 2014.[8]
On 5 September 2014, he signed with Conference South side Concord Rangers.[6] He made his debut for the club in a 2–0 win over Weston-super-Mare on 1 November and played a total of three games for the "Beach Boys".[3] On 28 November 2014, he joined fellow Conference South club Bishop's Stortford.[9] He played two games for the "Blues", one each in the league and FA Trophy.[3]
Aldershot Town
[edit]Alexander joined Aldershot Town on a non-contract basis on 3 March 2015.[10][11] He made his club debut in a 1–1 draw with Braintree Town on 11 April and played three further Conference Premier games by the end of the 2014–15 season.[3] He signed a one-year contract with the "Shots" in June 2015.[5] Manager Barry Smith said that "he's got all of the attributes of a full-back and he'll play in the style that I want to play".[5]
He scored his first career goal on 22 August 2015, in a 4–0 win at Guiseley.[12] He scored two goals in 50 appearances across the 2015–16 campaign.[3] He signed a new one-year contract in June 2016, with manager Gary Waddock commenting that he felt he could improve the player further.[13] He made 45 appearances during the 2016–17 season, scoring one goal, as Aldershot qualified for the play-offs with a fifth-place finish. However, they were beaten 5–2 on aggregate by Tranmere Rovers in the play-off semi-finals.[14]
On 19 August 2017, he scored from 25 yards (23 m) out at Boreham Wood but claimed it meant nothing to him as the team lost the game 2–1.[15] He ended the 2017–18 season with two goals in 45 games, with Aldershot again claiming a play-off spot with a fifth-place finish. However, this time, they lost a penalty shoot-out to Ebbsfleet United after their play-off quarter-final game ended in a 1–1 draw at the Recreation Ground.[16] He was released by his own request in May 2018.[17] Upon his departure from the club he said that "I feel I have improved as a player and I've learned so much at Aldershot.... it's an amazing club that's become a big part of my life".[18]
Barnet
[edit]
On 26 June 2018, Alexander joined Barnet on a two-year contract for an undisclosed fee, with "Bees" manager John Still admitting that he had tried to sign the player on previous occasions.[19] He scored two goals from 53 appearances during the 2018–19 campaign as Barnet posted a 12th-place finish in the National League. He scored two goals in 42 games during the 2019–20 season, which ended early due to the COVID-19 pandemic in England, with Barnet in the play-offs with a seventh-place finish. He turned down a short-term contract extension in June 2020 that would have kept him at The Hive Stadium for the delayed play-off campaign after informing manager Darren Currie that he had found a move to a club in the English Football League.[20]
AFC Wimbledon
[edit]On 23 July 2020, he returned to the Football League by signing for League One club AFC Wimbledon.[21] Manager Glyn Hodges said that he had impressed the club's scouts and that he hoped to have found a "hidden gem in non league" as they found with left-back Nesta Guinness-Walker the previous year.[21] He made his debut on 5 September, when he started an EFL Cup tie away at Oxford United.[22] However, it was only when Mark Robinson succeeded Hodges as manager the following January that Alexander enjoyed a sustained run in the first-team.[23] He made a total of 36 appearances in the 2020–21 season, helping the "Dons" to post a 19th-place finish in League One.[3] He featured 25 times in the 2021–22 relegation campaign, but was unable to play for incoming manager Mark Bowen after missing the end of the season with a groin injury.[3][24] He was released in June 2022.[25]
Gillingham
[edit]Alexander signed for League Two side Gillingham on 15 July 2022 on a one-year deal after impressing manager Neil Harris whilst on trial.[26] He made his debut for the Kent side as a 67th-minute substitute on the opening day of the 2022–23 season, in a 2–0 away loss to the team who had just released him, AFC Wimbledon.[27] His first Gillingham goal came in the return fixture at Priestfield in February 2023, with his volley sealing a 2–1 victory over his former employers.[28] He scored three goals in 48 games, making a sufficient number of appearances during the season to trigger an extension clause in his contract.[29] His volleyed goal against AFC Wimbledon on 25 February won him the club's Goal of the Season award.[30]
On 29 January 2024, he departed the club, having had his contract terminated by mutual consent; this followed the signing of wing-back Remeao Hutton and the admission from head coach Stephen Clemence that he was struggling to keep his squad happy with the amount of game time he was able to offer them.[31][32]
International career
[edit]Alexander played one game for the England C team, coming on as a substitute in an away win against Estonia U23 on 15 November 2016.[33] In October 2023, he was called up to the Saint Lucia national team for a set of 2023–24 CONCACAF Nations League matches.[34] On 13 October 2023, Alexander made his debut and played the full 90 minutes for Saint Lucia in a 2–1 win over Guadeloupe.[35]
Personal life
[edit]In 2016 Alexander set up his own brand, Christian Rose, combining his name with that of his younger sister Rose.[36]

View on GrokipediaClub career
Youth career
Cheye Alexander spent ten years in the West Ham United academy, developing as a right-back from a young age through structured youth training programs and competitive fixtures.[8][4][9] A key milestone came in May 2011 when, at age 16, he signed a two-year scholarship contract alongside other promising talents, transitioning from younger age groups to more intensive full-time coaching and match preparation.[10] By the 2011–12 season, Alexander had progressed to the under-18 squad, where he featured regularly in the Premier Academy League.[11] In his final year, during the 2012–13 campaign, he continued as a second-year scholar and played in high-profile youth matches, including a league encounter against Tottenham Hotspur in March 2013, contributing defensively despite a 3–1 defeat for the Hammers.[12][13] These experiences emphasized tactical awareness and physical conditioning under academy coaches, preparing him for senior levels. Alexander was released by West Ham United in the summer of 2013 at age 18, as the club deemed first-team opportunities limited for him.[14] Following this, he briefly transitioned to a professional contract with Port Vale.[14]Early professional career
Alexander signed his first professional contract with Port Vale in June 2013, joining the club's development squad on a one-year deal after leaving the West Ham United academy.[15] Despite training with the first team during the 2013–14 season in League One, he made no senior appearances for the Valiants.[16] In December 2013, Alexander was loaned to Northern Premier League Premier Division side Ilkeston Town for an initial one-month period, which was later extended to two months.[16] During his time there, he made nine appearances without scoring, gaining valuable experience in non-league football as an 18-year-old right-back.[17] Upon returning to Port Vale in February 2014, he continued to feature primarily for the reserves, but manager Micky Adams confirmed in April that he would not be offered a new contract.[9] Released by Port Vale in the summer of 2014, Alexander moved to Conference South club Concord Rangers in September on a short-term deal, where he made two appearances in league and cup competitions.[8] He transferred to fellow Conference South team Bishop's Stortford in November 2014, featuring in just one match before departing in February 2015.[18] These brief spells highlighted the challenges of establishing himself as a young player in the lower tiers, including adapting to the physical demands of non-league football and securing consistent playing time amid frequent club changes.[16]Aldershot Town
Cheye Alexander joined Aldershot Town from Bishop's Stortford in February 2015 on non-contract terms, initially serving as a right-back in the National League.[19] He made his debut for the club on 11 April 2015 in a 1–1 draw against Braintree Town.[17] In June 2015, Alexander signed a one-year contract with Aldershot, marking his establishment as a key squad member after brief prior non-league experience.[16] During his tenure from 2015 to 2018, Alexander became a mainstay in the defense, accumulating 140 appearances and scoring 5 goals across all competitions.[20] He was an ever-present player in the 2015–16 National League season, featuring in all 46 league matches and contributing 2 goals as Aldershot finished 15th.[19] The following campaign saw him make 45 appearances with 1 goal, helping the team secure a fifth-place finish and a spot in the promotion playoffs, where they reached the semi-finals before a 5–2 aggregate loss to Tranmere Rovers (0–3 first leg, 2–2 second leg).[7] Alexander's consistent performances led to multiple contract extensions, including a new one-year deal in May 2016 after his breakout season.[19] In April 2017, he signed another extension, committing to the club amid their push for promotion.[21] The 2017–18 season highlighted his attacking contributions from the right flank, with 45 appearances and 2 goals, as Aldershot finished seventh and qualified for the playoffs, though they exited in the qualifying round to Ebbsfleet United on penalties after a 1–1 aggregate draw (0–0 away, 1–1 home).[17] His versatility and reliability during these playoff campaigns solidified his role as a professional right-back, with 10 assists recorded over his time at the club.[20]Barnet
In June 2018, Cheye Alexander transferred to Barnet from Aldershot Town on a two-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[22] The move marked his progression to a more established club in the National League, where he adapted quickly to the demands of consistent league football, leveraging his prior non-league experience to secure a starting role at right-back.[22] Alexander's defensive contributions were central to Barnet's setup during his tenure from 2018 to 2020, where he made 84 appearances and scored 2 goals across all competitions.[23] In the 2018–19 season, he featured in 43 matches, including scoring his first goal for the club in a 4–2 FA Cup victory over Braintree Town in October 2018, helping Barnet to a 13th-place finish in the National League.[24] His performances emphasized solid defending and overlapping runs, providing width on the right flank and contributing to squad rotations amid a mid-table campaign that avoided relegation concerns. The following 2019–20 season saw Alexander appear in 34 matches, netting once in a 3–0 league win against Barrow in February 2020, where he slotted home from 12 yards after advancing into the attack.[25] He continued as a reliable option in defensive rotations, focusing on clean-sheet efforts and support play, though the campaign was curtailed in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with Barnet concluding mid-table on points-per-game calculations.[23]AFC Wimbledon
Cheye Alexander joined AFC Wimbledon on a free transfer from Barnet on 23 July 2020, becoming the club's first summer signing under manager Glyn Hodges, who praised his experience and versatility as a full-back.[4] Having built a solid foundation in League Two with Barnet, Alexander transitioned effectively to League One, debuting in the EFL Cup against Brentford in September 2020.[26] Alexander quickly became a regular starter at right-back, providing defensive stability during a challenging season marked by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and squad adjustments. In the 2020–21 League One campaign, he made 29 league appearances (18 starts), logging 1,662 minutes and recording 2 assists—one in a 3–2 win over Northampton Town and another in a 2–1 victory against Burton Albion—while contributing to a team defense that conceded 70 goals but secured survival with 51 points and an 18th-place finish.[27] His consistent performances helped anchor the backline amid relegation pressures, with AFC Wimbledon winning 7 of their last 10 matches to pull clear of the drop zone.[28] The following 2021–22 season saw Alexander maintain his role as a key defensive figure, starting all 21 of his league appearances and playing 1,736 minutes without recording goals or assists, as the team navigated managerial changes and inconsistent form.[29] His efforts were instrumental in AFC Wimbledon's gritty survival push, finishing 20th with 50 points after a run of 4 wins in their final 8 games to edge out the relegation battle.[30] Across both seasons, Alexander totaled 50 league appearances and 61 overall, emphasizing reliable defending over attacking output, with notable clean sheets in crucial home fixtures against promotion contenders like Sunderland.[31]Gillingham
Cheye Alexander signed for Gillingham on a two-year contract on 15 July 2022, following his release from AFC Wimbledon and after impressing manager Neil Harris during a pre-season trial.[9][32] As a right-back, he quickly became a regular in the League Two squad, making 37 appearances and scoring 3 goals in the 2022/23 season, contributing to Gillingham's mid-table finish of 10th place.[20] His performances included notable goals, such as a long-range strike in a 2-1 victory over former club AFC Wimbledon in February 2023.[33] In the 2023/24 season, Alexander featured in 22 League Two matches without scoring, bringing his total league contributions at Gillingham to 59 appearances and 3 goals before his departure.[20] The team struggled initially but improved to finish 12th, though Alexander's involvement was hampered by injuries, including a car crash in August 2023 that also affected teammates Jonny Williams, Timothee Dieng, George Lapslie, and Macauley Bonne.[34][35] By late 2023, he had fallen out of favor under new head coach Stephen Clemence, making only substitute appearances and not featuring in the squad for the prior two matches.[36] On 29 January 2024, Gillingham and Alexander mutually terminated his contract with immediate effect, allowing him to seek new opportunities six months early; this followed the signing of wing-back Remeao Hutton.[5][36] Across all competitions during his 18-month stint, he made 76 appearances and scored 4 goals.[5] As of November 2025, Alexander remains an unattached free agent with no reported club signing since his Gillingham exit.[1]International career
England C
Alexander earned his first international call-up for England C, the national representative team for semi-professional and non-league players in England, in November 2016. His strong form as a right-back for Aldershot Town in the National League led to a late selection after injuries to Lincoln City's Sam Habergham and Sean Raggett forced changes to the squad.[37] Alexander made his sole appearance for England C on 15 November 2016, during the International Challenge Trophy semi-final against Estonia U23 at the A. Le Coq Arena in Tallinn. He entered the match as a substitute in the 86th minute, replacing forward Jamal Lowe, and played out the remainder as a right-back in the 2–1 victory, which was secured by goals from Elliott Whitehouse in the 7th minute and Lowe in the 13th.[37] This non-competitive outing against the non-FIFA-ranked Estonia U23 side provided Alexander with his debut international exposure, highlighting his potential at the representative level ahead of further career progression.[37]Saint Lucia
Cheye Alexander, born in England, became eligible to represent Saint Lucia through his parental heritage and received his first senior international call-up in October 2023 for the 2023–24 CONCACAF Nations League B matches.[38][39] As of November 2024, Alexander has earned 7 caps for Saint Lucia, all as a defender primarily deployed at right-back, contributing to the team's defensive line in competitive fixtures.[40][41] His appearances included 3 matches in the CONCACAF Nations League B across the 2023–24 and 2024–25 editions, where he logged 270 minutes, and 4 outings in 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification, totaling 332 minutes.[40] Alexander's role in Saint Lucia's backline has been pivotal during key tournaments like the 2023–24 CONCACAF Nations League, where his debut came in a 2–1 victory over Guadeloupe on 13 October 2023, playing the full 90 minutes as a right-back.[40][42] He continued to feature prominently in subsequent fixtures, including the 2024–25 CONCACAF Nations League matches against Sint Maarten (Saint Martin) on 12 October 2024 (2–1 victory, full 90 minutes, provided an assist) and 15 October 2024 (0–4 defeat, full 90 minutes), as well as World Cup qualifiers against Haiti (2–1 defeat, full 90 minutes) and Aruba (2–2 draw, 32 minutes) in June 2024, and Grenada (0–4 defeat, full 90 minutes) and Curaçao (4–1 victory, full 90 minutes) in November 2024.[40][43][44] In these Nations League games, Alexander was part of a defense that conceded 5 goals across his 2 starts in the 2024–25 campaign, with no clean sheets recorded.[45] Prior to committing to Saint Lucia, Alexander had briefly represented the England C team in a non-competitive match.[39]Off the field
Personal life
Cheye Alexander was born on 6 January 1995 in Newham, London, England.[1] Growing up in the local area, Alexander became a supporter of West Ham United from a young age, which influenced his decision to pursue a career in professional football; he joined the club's academy at age eight and spent a decade developing there.[16] Alexander is of Saint Lucian descent through his family heritage, granting him eligibility to represent the Saint Lucia national team internationally.[1] Alexander is a father; he has a son named Reign.[46]Business ventures
In 2016, Cheye Alexander co-founded the clothing brand Christian Rose, serving as its creative director and business owner while advancing his professional football career. The company, incorporated as Christian Rose Clothing Limited, emerged as a venture blending Alexander's interests in fashion and entrepreneurship. The name "Christian Rose" derives from Alexander's middle name and his younger sister's name.[47][48] Christian Rose positions itself as a premium lifestyle British brand originating from London's East End, emphasizing high-quality, well-fitted apparel and accessories tailored for fashion-conscious consumers.[49] The label focuses on streetwear elements, particularly distinctive headwear such as luxury baseball caps in classic colors like black, grey, and white, often featuring logo detailing or artistic paint splatter designs.[49] These products aim to style a new generation, allowing wearers to express individuality through bold, designer-enhanced items.[49] The brand has expanded steadily alongside Alexander's football commitments, quickly establishing itself as one of the UK's leading cap brands through targeted collections and retail partnerships.[49] By maintaining a commitment to quality craftsmanship, Christian Rose has grown its presence in the competitive streetwear market without diluting its core aesthetic.[48] As of 2025, no additional business ventures or major endorsements beyond the clothing line have been publicly documented for Alexander.Career statistics
