Alex Schalk (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈaːlɛks ˈsxɑlk]; born August 7, 1992) is a Dutch footballer who plays as forward for Ross County. Schalk is best known for scoring the winner in the 2016 Scottish League Cup Final.[1]

Career

Schalk came through the youth ranks of NAC Breda, earning the nickname of Der Bomber of Breda because of his reputation as a footballer with remarkable goalscoring instincts, comparable to legendary German striker Gerd Müller.[2] On 1 May 2011, Schalk made his senior debut for NAC against Heracles Almelo in the 33d round of the 2010–11 Eredivisie season, replacing Ömer Bayram in the 85th minute.[3] The match ended in a 1–2 home loss. On 9 August 2011, Schalk agreed a new two-year contract at NAC until June 2013.[4]

After losing any perspective on playing matches for NAC Breda, Schalk was sent on loan to PSV, where he played for Eerste Divisie side Jong PSV. He scored 6 times in 16 matches for the Eerste Divisie side. On 28 June 2014, Schalk signed a one-year deal with Eredivisie side Go Ahead Eagles on a free transfer.

Schalk moved to Scottish Premiership club Ross County in October 2015.[5] On 13 March 2016, Schalk scored a late winner as Ross County won their first major silverware with a 2–1 victory over Hibernian in the Scottish League Cup.[1]
