Born in Funchal, Madeira, Alex started his career with local C.D. Nacional. In the 2005 summer, aged 14, he signed for F.C. Porto and went on to complete his formation with the top division giants.

During his only season as a senior with the northerners, 2009–10, Alex was summoned to four games with the first team: on 17 October 2009 he played 20 minutes against Sertanense F.C. for the campaign's Portuguese Cup, after coming on as a substitute for Mariano González in a 4–0 home win; he also remained on the bench in two League Cup matches and the 2–1 home triumph over APOEL F.C. in the UEFA Champions League.

Santa Clara

In the 2010 summer Alex signed with C.D. Santa Clara in the second level. He appeared in 26 games (19 starts) in his first year with the Azores club.

International career

In 2009, Alex was part of the Portugal under-19 side that failed to make the 2009 UEFA European Championship. As the country qualified for the next edition in France he contributed with four goals in six matches, being selected for the final squad in an eventual group stage exit.

Alex was selected for Portugal's squad at the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup. He played all the games but one in Colombia en route to the second place, scoring in the 2–3 final loss against Brazil.
