Alex Mighten

Career
Mighten worked his way through the Notts Forrest academy and gained his pro contract in the 18/19 season. From the 18/19 season to the 20/21 season he played 10 times, scoring 1 and assisting 1. At the end of the 20/21 season AFC Bournemouth signed him for £2,000,000 but only played 1 game in the 3 seasons he was there. During the 22/23 season he had a short term loan at Mansfield where he scored 3 in 9 games. Bournemouth released him at the end of this loan and Gateshead brought him in as the best player at the club. During his 1st season he was vital in the promotion push to League One, scoring 6 and assisting 7 in 34 games from either wing which earnt him Signing of the Season, narrowly missing out on player of the season to inform loanee striker Simpson. The next season came and he played 8 more games but assisted only 5. On the other hand, the 25/26 season was very good for Alex. He played 38 times, scored 6 and assisted 9 which he was then awarded player of the year by Luke Ireland. The 26/27 season came and an abundance of wingers were now at the club, this meant Alex ended up playing less through the year. He still managed an impressive 8 assists and 2 goals in only 25 appearances. With many options on the wing again for the 27/28 season, Alex only played 29 games but still scored twice and assisted 5 goals from both sides of the field. The 28/29 season came and Gateshead had multiple options on both sides of midfield. Mighten missed out through this, only making 22 appearances for the club but still provided 2 assists over these games. The summer came and he was placed on the transfer list after 6 seasons at the club. A £1.1 Million bid came in from fellow Championship club Crystal Palace. This was accepted and he moved to them for the 29/30 season after just missing out on joining the 200 appearance club. He scored 16 goals and provided 36 assists at his time at Gateshead.
