Alexander Jon Babos (born 22 August 1998) is a semi-professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for National League North club Hereford.

Club career

[edit]

Babos started his youth career at Derby County, joining the club's scholarship programme aged 15, before signing a professional contract with the club in March 2016.[1]

In August 2018, Babos joined Spanish Segunda División B club Real Unión on a season-long loan, but the loan was cut short and returned to Derby in January 2019.[2][3]

On 24 September 2019, Babos joined Northern Premier League Premier Division club FC United of Manchester on a one-month loan.[4] During his time at Derby he was captain of the U23 side.[5] He was released by Derby in July 2020.[6][7]

Following his release from Derby, on 9 October 2020, Babos signed for National League North club Alfreton Town following a successful trial period.[8]

On 9 April 2021, Babos joined National League club King's Lynn Town for the remainder of the season.[9][10]

On 13 August 2021, Babos joined Southern League Premier Division Central club Banbury United.[11][12] In June 2022, he signed a contract extension ahead of Banbury's first season in the National League North.[13]

On 25 May 2023, Babos signed for National League North club Hereford on a one-year deal.[14][15] He scored on his debut for Hereford in a 2–2 draw on the opening day of the season against former club King's Lynn Town.[16] He made the National League North team of the week after his second match with Hereford.[17] He made the team of the week for a second time after scoring in a 3–1 home win against Curzon Ashton in October.[18] He featured in a team of the week for the third time during the season after scoring twice in a 4–1 league win away against Peterborough Sports in March.[19]

On 29 March 2024, it was announced that Babos had signed a one-year contract extension at Hereford, tying him down to the club until 2025.[20]

International career

[edit]

In November 2017, Babos received his first call up to the Wales U21 squad for their two UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifying fixtures, but did not feature in either match.[21] The following May he was called up again for Wales' friendly double-header against Georgia, this time winning his first caps as he started both fixtures, firstly playing the full 90 minutes before being substituted in the second.[22][23]

He made his competitive debut for Wales U21 the following September, coming on as a second-half substitute in their UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifying fixture against Liechtenstein.[24] He was called up once again for October's qualifying fixtures against Romania and Switzerland.[25]

In May 2019, he was called up for Wales' friendly double-header against Albania, starting in the first of the two fixtures.[26][27]
