“Alex is an exciting young player for us and another important example of hard work and dedication producing results,” General Manager and EVP of Soccer Operations Luiz Muzzi said in a press release. “Having him in the first team group for training on a regular basis and the opportunity to get consistent minutes in MLS Next Pro should create a great environment for him to develop his game even further than he already has.”
