Alex Kpakpé

Alex Colin Kpakpé (born 22 February 2004) is an English professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Southern League Premier side Hitchin Town.

Club career
Born in Hackney, Kpakpé first took an interest in football at the age of five, playing in his garden with his cousins. He played grassroots football in Tulse Hill, before joining the academy of Chelsea at under-14 level. During his youth, he also played handball, and was a 100 metres sprinter. Initially a defensive midfielder, Kpakpé transitioned to a left-back during his time with Chelsea. He signed his first professional contract in February 2021.

His time with the Blues was hampered by injury and illness, and after four years in West London, he left the club in November 2022. The following month, he played in a bounce match with Scottish side Rangers. He signed a six-month deal with Rangers in January 2023.

On 14 January 2023, he made his debut for Rangers B in the Lowland League, coming on as a substitute for Mackenzie Strachan in a 6–1 win over Dalbeattie Star. Following his release by Rangers B in July 2023, Kpakpé signed with Southern League Premier side Hitchin Town.

Personal life
Kpakpé's cousins are Tottenham Hotspur winger Ryan Sessegnon and Fulham right-back Steven Sessegnon; both of whom have represented England at youth international level.

He is of Ivorian descent.
