Matthew Alexander (born 7 May 2002) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Alnwick Town.
On 10 August 2019, Alexander made his Bolton Wanderers debut in a 0–0 draw at home to Coventry City, in which Bolton fielded their youngest ever team, due to financial difficulties.

[8] Alexander started the season as first choice Goalkeeper, [9] however he lost his place to fellow loanee Aidan Dowling [10] and his loan was terminated early on 23 November. [11] On 4 February 2022, he joined Runcorn Linnets on loan until the end of the season. [12] He made his debut a day later in a 2–0 defeat against Trafford but picked up an injury during the match, causing him to miss the rest of the season.
