Alex Newby’s first involvement with York City came in the form of a screamer against them—scoring for Chorley at Bootham Crescent. His fondest memory as an opponent peaked with a brace in Altrincham’s 6–1 demolition of the Minstermen in 2024.

Thankfully for York fans, Alex is now plying his trade at the LNER, where 12 goals this season have quickly made him a fan favourite.

Recorded live at the Supporters Trust social event at Brew York, Alex reflects on his career so far—including spells in the Football League—and shares his ambitions for the rest of the season.
