Alex Iacovitti (born 2 September 1997) is a Scottish[1] footballer who plays as a defender for Forest Green Rovers on loan from Nottingham Forest.
Club career
Nottingham Forest
Iacovitti progressed through the academy of Nottingham Forest and made his professional debut for the club on 6 August 2016, starting at left-back in a 4–3 win against Burton Albion.[2][3] On 31 August 2016 Iacovitti joined Mansfield Town on loan for the 2016–17 season.[4]
Stags manager Adam Murray revealed that there had been a lot of interest from other clubs in Iacovitti, and described the player as an "old-school centre-half".[5] On 12 November, Iacovitti was shown a red card in the 74th minute away at Portsmouth. A goal down at the time, Mansfield Town went on to lose the game 4–0 having also had Kyle Howkins dismissed.[6] On 1 January 2017, Mansfield Town confirmed that Iacovitti would be returning to Forest early from his loan spell. Mansfield manager Steve Evans, who had replaced Murray in November, cited the reason as a lack of playing time.[7]
On 31 July 2017 Iacovitti was loaned to League Two club Forest Green Rovers for the 2017-18 season.[8]
