Club career

Alexander's bright career began in Epping Boys' High School where he showed excellent talent on the field as a sportsman and off the field in his sportsmanship. His main junior football club was North Ryde. He currently plays as a right full back for the Australian A-League team Central Coast Mariners. On Sunday 12 November, 2006, Noel Spencer was dropped from the starting eleven and in his absence Alex Wilkinson was named captain of the team. Spencer was then struck down with injury and Alex filled in as captain until round 18 when Spencer returned. He was named Captain for Season 3 (2007-2008) and only injury has interrupted that (with ex Socceroo Tony Vidmar filling in).

International career

He represented Australia in 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship. In August 2006, Alex was selected for the first time to join the 22 man Socceroos squad, training for the Asian Cup against Kuwait.
