Alex James Dyer (born 11 June 1990) is a Montserratian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Wealdstone. He represents Montserrat internationally. Club career
Dyer is a product of the Northampton Town's youth system and agreed a professional contract in 2007. In April 2008 he was awarded 'League Two Apprentice of the Month'. He made his debut on 29 August 2007 in a 2–0 League Cup defeat to Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium, and scored his first goal in a 2–1 win against Luton Town the same season. He signed a two-year contract extension with Northampton in February 2009. During the 2009–10 season, Dyer was more of a first team player due to Northampton Town being in League Two, playing 20 games and scoring two goals against Notts County and Bradford City. He was released by the club on 12 May 2010 along with five other players, with manager Ian Sampson stating that he had not progressed as he had hoped and that younger players like teammate Michael Jacobs should be given a chance. Dyer joined Grimsby Town on trial following his release from Northampton, but after playing in one match he was let go having failed to impress the club's management. Subsequently, Dyer went on to sign for Wealdstone in the Isthmian League Premier Division. After 32 goals in 117 games for Wealdstone, he signed for newly promoted Conference National side Welling United, who clinched the Conference South title the previous year. On 11 December 2013, it was announced that Dyer would be departing Welling United in order to join Swedish tier two side Östersunds FK. On 4 March 2019, Dyer joined Eliteserien side Lillestrøm on loan from Elfsborg until 1 August. After a spell in Kuwait playing for Al Tadhamon, Dyer re-joined Wealdstone on a short-term deal on 2 October 2020. He scored his first goal back at the Stones against Wrexham on 17 October 2020, in a 4–3 win, and went on to appear 34 times and score twice as Wealdstone ended the season in 19th. On 26 June 2021, it was announced that Dyer had signed a new one-year contract with the club

International career
