Alex Mortensen (footballer)
Alex Jens Kenneth Mortensen (born 13 July 2002) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a forward. He is under contract with the Dutch Eredivisie club Groningen. Club career
A youth product of Kalmar, Mortenssen made his professional debut with them in a 4–1 Svenska Cupen win over Asarums on 20 October 2020. He signed his first professional contract with Kalmar on 20 December 2020. On 2 July 2021, he joined the Eredivisie club Groningen on loan for the 2021–22 season, with an option to buy. He debuted with Groningen in the Eredisivie in a 1–1 tie with Twente on 1 October 2021, coming on as a late sub in the 94th minute. The deal became permanent on 15 May 2022, with Mortensen signing a two-year contract. Just five days later, Groningen announced that Mortensen suffered a serious knee injury and will not be able to play for an extended period of time. Personal life
In December 2020, on the way home from training Mortensen saw a man about to climb off the E22 in Sweden attempting to commit suicide. Mortensen, then 18 years old, prevented the man from jumping and got a bystander to call a police, and resolve the issue. References
