Born on 2nd September 1997 in England, Alex Iacovitti is a 27-year-old central defender, currently plying his trade for St Mirren. Standing at 6ft 2in (1.88m) and weighing a sturdy 12st 12lb (82kg), he's a commanding figure in the heart of the defence, known for donning the number 4 jersey.
Iacovitti began his professional journey in July 2015, joining Premier League side Nottingham Forest. However, his time at the Forest wasn't overwhelmingly prolific, racking up only two first-team appearances during his debut season of 2016-2017.
In search of game time, Iacovitti was loaned to Mansfield Town in England's League One in August 2016, where he made eight appearances in his loan spell. Following his stint at Mansfield Town, he returned to Nottingham Forest in January 2017.
Yet, not too long after his return to Nottingham Forest, Iacovitti was off on loan again in July 2017, this time to the Forest Green Rovers of the National League in England. He seemed to find more pitch time here, making 14 appearances and scoring a single goal during the 2017-2018 season.
After another return stint to Nottingham Forest at the completion of his loan, Iacovitti was once again seeking new shores, and so, in January 2019, he transferred to Oldham Athletic in League Two in England on loan. He made the move permanent in July that year.
However, it was not until July 2020 when our protagonist embarked on a journey to potentially the most pivotal chapter of his career. Making a move from Oldham Athletic to Ross County in Scotland's Championship, Iacovitti’s transfer fee remained undisclosed. During his time at Ross County, his appearances became more consistent and his name was seen more frequently on the scoresheet, racking up a total of 103 appearances and seven goals over three seasons.
Following his stint at Ross County, Iacovitti returned to England in July 2023, signing for Port Vale in League One. His stay, however, was fleeting as he moved back to Scotland the very next year, this time signing for St Mirren in the Premiership for another undisclosed fee. Since then, he has made a combined total of 14 appearances and scored one goal, though it's worth mentioning that in the current 2025-2026 season he has yet to appear for St Mirren in any league matches.
On a side note, Iacovitti contributed in the League Cup 2025-2026 for St Mirren with one start and three appearances as a substitute, and also took part in the Scottish Cup 2024-2025 for St Mirren with a single start.
