Alex started playing for local juvenile side Abercorn but upon them amalgamating with Dauntless Athletic in 1894 to re-form Dauntless as a junior team, he signed up and thus started his long relationship with the club. Within a few years he had been made captain, and in the late 1890s he also acted as both secretary and vice president for the club.
He first featured for us in a friendly match against Armadale Volunteers in November 1898, and he featured intermittently over the next three seasons. The club tried to sign Alex on numerous occasions, but he preferred to stay loyal to Dauntless and the junior grade, and only ever featured in games for us as an amateur.
He was drafted in again for two Northern League matches in late December 1905 but didn't feature after this, with his playing career for Dauntless being his priority.
