Graham joined the club as a scholar from Durham in the North-East of England.

A left-footed centre-back who is technically solid with good athleticism, Alex was part of the strong Durham County team who played Grimsby Town u16s, where he was first identified.

The 17-year-old has settled in very well to the programme during his year with the Club and saw his hard-work rewarded with a Men’s First Team start away at League One side, Bradford City.
