Alex Iacovitti

Alex Iacovitti of Ross County was born in Nottingham, England on 2 September 1997 (age 28).

Alex Iacovitti, born 2 September 1997 (age 28), is a Scottish central defender whose senior career has come to be shaped far more by Ross County than by anything that came before it. His early years included loan football, useful in the unglamorous way these things often are, but the decisive part of his career has been in Dingwall.

Across four seasons with County, Iacovitti has made 126 league appearances and scored nine league goals. His most productive campaign came in 2022-23, when he scored three times in 36 league matches – decent return from a centre-half, without needing to pretend he was reinventing the position.

He remains a regular part of the side in 2025-26, wearing squad number 16. He has made 23 Championship appearances and scored twice, with four League Cup outings and one in the Scottish Cup taking him to 28 appearances in all competitions for Ross County this season.

Iacovitti’s career is a plain enough story: early development through loan football, then a settled and substantial spell at Ross County, where he has become an important first-team defender.

Alex Iacovitti has been a near ever-present for Ross County in the 2025–26 Championship, making 23 league appearances and starting 22 of them. His two goals add some set-piece value from central defence, while nine yellow cards point to an aggressive defensive profile and a workload that leaves little margin for suspension risk. With four League Cup appearances and one in the Scottish Cup as well, his role looks firmly established rather than rotational.

Iacovitti’s career has been shaped by moves between English lower-league football and Scotland, with spells at Nottingham Forest, Oldham Athletic, Ross County, Port Vale and St Mirren. The repeated Ross County connection is the clearest pattern – he first arrived in 2020, left for Port Vale in 2023, and returned in 2025. At 28, the trajectory suggests an experienced defender operating at a familiar level rather than a player still on a sharp upward curve.

The transfer record points to a pragmatic career path. Iacovitti left Nottingham Forest for Oldham Athletic on a free transfer, moved to Ross County for an undisclosed fee, then joined Port Vale on a free in 2023. St Mirren paid an undisclosed fee in 2024 before Ross County brought him back on a free in 2025. The pattern is mostly free transfers and undisclosed deals, with movement across comparable levels rather than a clear step into a higher bracket.
