Alex Bailey (born 21 September 1983 in Newham, London) is a professional footballer. A right-back, Bailey began as an Arsenal trainee, winning the FA Youth Cup in 2001, but was released by the Gunners and signed by Chesterfield prior to the start of the 2004–05 season. He remained at Saltergate for three years scoring one goal before moving on to Halifax Town and then St Albans City before being released at the end of the 2009/10 season after only making 15 appearances

Early career

Alex Bailey Attended St Bonaventure's RC School from age 11 to 14. Alex played for the scholar football team and captained while he attended St Bons. Alex attended St Bonaventures alongside other notable footballers such as Jermain Defoe of Tottenham Hotspur and Clayton Fortune, who formally played for Aldershot Town. Alex was spotted and subsequently taken in as an Arsenal trainee thereafter.

Later career

During his training, Alex met Josh Middleton, who shared his interest in Thrash Metal, and bands such as Neurosis and High on Fire. Alex joined Josh's project Sylosis shortly thereafter as a Rhythm Guitarist, although the two have often fought for control of the band, Josh's vegeterian ego usually wins out.
