Born on the 20th of April 2005, Englishman Alfie Dorrington is making a name for himself as a resolute central defender, currently plying his trade for Aberdeen. At a commanding 6ft 3ins (1.92m) tall and weighing a sturdy 12st 3lb (78kg), he wears the number 26 jersey with pride. With a market value of around £600k according to Transfermarkt, he's currently under contract with Aberdeen until the 30th of June 2026.
Dorrington's football journey began at Tottenham Hotspur of the English Premier League, joining the illustrious club in July 2020. At Tottenham's first team, he got his Premier League debut during the 2024 - 2025 season below the likes of senior defenders. After his brief stint in the first team, Dorrington then took a trip north, moving from Tottenham to Aberdeen on loan in January 2025. He made an impressive 12 appearances for The Dons during the 2024 - 2025 season, finding the back of the net once. His performances have continued to improve, as can be seen in the 2025 - 2026 season with him already making a first-team appearance.
After his fruitful spell at Aberdeen, he returned to Tottenham in June 2025. However, his stay in North London was short-lived, with Dorrington once again packing his bags and making the trip back to Aberdeen, this time to stay on loan for the 2025 - 2026 season. Once again, he has proved his worth at Pittodrie, making a first-team appearance already this season.
In addition to his league performances, Dorrington has also been making waves in cup competitions. In the 2024 - 2025 season of the Scottish Cup, he featured for Aberdeen in four matches, three as a starter and one as a substitute.
