Alex Iacovitti, defender by trade and wearer of the number 4 jersey, first graced the football pitch professionally at Nottingham Forest in England's Premier League. Born on the 2nd of September, 1997, and now 27 years of age, Iacovitti stands an impressive 6 feet 2 inches tall (1.88m) and carries a weight of 12 stone 12 pounds (82kg). Despite his English birth, he presently guards the defence line of St Mirren in Scotland.
Iacovitti's early professional football career saw him at Nottingham Forest for their 2016-2017 season. Despite being his debut season at the club, he was able to feature in two first-team league matches. In the quest for more game time, he was sent on loan to Mansfield Town in England's League One in August 2016 where he made eight first-team appearances. He then returned to Nottingham Forest on completion of his loan stint in January 2017 seeing out the rest of the season with two more appearances.
Seeking new pastures in July 2017, Iacovitti would find himself on yet another loan spell – this time to Forest Green Rovers in England's National League. There, he would make 14 first-team appearances, even finding the back of the net once. After his loan spell came to an end, he moved back to Nottingham Forest in January 2018.
Iacovitti's 2019 saw him on a loan move to Oldham Athletic in the National League in January, and later that year, in July, securing a permanent transfer to the same club.
By July 2020, Iacovitti had moved beyond the borders of England and transferred to Ross County in the Scottish Premiership for an undisclosed fee. His time at Ross County was marked by a stable first-team place where, from 2020 to 2023, he made a total of 103 first-team appearances across three seasons, scoring seven goals.
Despite his steady spell at Ross County, Iacovitti transferred to Port Vale in England's League Two in July 2023. But after a short stint, he returned to the Scottish Premiership, transferring to St Mirren in July 2024 for an undisclosed fee.
His current season (2024-2025) at St Mirren has been promising; he's made nine first-team appearances and scored a goal so far. More notably, he played a key role in the League Cup 2024-2025 and the Conference League Qualifiers 2024-2025. He started once in the League Cup and made a significant impact in the Conference League Qualifiers, notching two goals in three appearances as a substitute.
