Alex Paulsen, born on 4 July 2002 (age 24), is a New Zealand goalkeeper with Motherwell. An imposing 6ft 4in (1.93m), he fits the modern profile of a keeper with natural reach, though the available senior record is still relatively lean.
His early league football came with Wellington Phoenix, where he made four league appearances in the 2021-22 season. That was a modest foothold rather than a full breakthrough, but it put him into senior football at a young age.
By 2026-27 he was part of the picture at Motherwell, making 13 league appearances and six more in Conference League qualifiers. Across all competitions for the club, he has made 19 appearances.
Paulsen’s career remains at the developing stage: a New Zealand goalkeeper who has moved from early minutes at Wellington Phoenix to a more visible role with Motherwell.
