As a speaker, Alex brings her personal experiences of resilience, determination, and pushing through challenges, resonating with a wide range of audiences.

Alex’s journey into professional football began at a young age. Growing up in London, she joined Arsenal’s youth team at just eight years old. Her passion for the game grew, and by the age of 18, she was playing for Arsenal’s first team. Over the next decade, she carved out an impressive career as a right-back, becoming a key figure in the team’s defence. Her dedication and skill led to her representing England at the 2009 UEFA Women’s Euro, the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup, and the 2012 London Olympics, where she earned a bronze medal. After over 20 years in football, Alex retired in 2018 to explore new avenues, including broadcasting and public speaking.

She became one of the most recognisable faces in sports journalism, working as a pundit and presenter for both BBC Sport and Sky Sports. In 2021, she took on the role of hosting Football Focus, a position that further solidified her presence in the sports media industry. Beyond her broadcasting career, Alex is an advocate for diversity, using her voice to promote equal opportunities in sport and encourage young women to pursue their dreams.
