Oalex Anderson (born 11 November 1995)[1] is a Vincentian international footballer who plays for Seattle Sounders FC 2 in the USL and internationally for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Anderson is known by the nickname "Bounty" for his prolific goal scoring.[2]

Club career

Anderson has played for System 3 FC of the NLA Premier League, the top tier of football in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.[3] Anderson was the league's top scorer for the 2013/2014 season.[4] In September 2014, System 3 loaned Anderson to Grenades FC of the Antigua and Barbuda Premier Division, along with national teammate Kevin Francis, on 6-month deals.[5] Only days later, Anderson scored his first goal for the club on 27 September 2014 in a 6-3 league victory over Old Road FC on his league debut.[6] During his time with the club, Anderson appeared in 18 matches, finishing second in the league with 12 goals.[7]

Anderson joined USL club Seattle Sounders FC 2, of which fellow Vincentian Ezra Hendrickson was coach, in March 2015.[7] He made his debut for the club on April 11, 2015 in a 2–1 victory over Portland Timbers 2 as an 86th-minute substitute for Andrés Correa.[8]

International career

Anderson made his international debut on 2 February 2014 in a friendly against Dominica. After a strong start to his international career, Anderson was named to the squad for the 2014 Windward Islands Tournament and 2014 Caribbean Cup qualification. Anderson went on to score two goals during the Windwards Islands Tournament and five during Caribbean Cup qualification before SVG were eliminated, making him ranked among the top goal scorers during qualification.[1]
