Balisani of the Dockers

Tilbury gave a debut- from the bench- to Alex Balisani as they fought hard against Needham Market in the FA Cup on Saturday.

Midfielder Alex played for a number of our clubs earlier in his career. He was with Basildon United during 21-22, and scored three goals in nineteen appearances, and has also turned out for Romford, Billericay Town, Walthamstow and East Thurrock United, as well as playing Under 23 football for Bowers and Pitsea, where he was a title winner.

Last season he made a handful of appearances for Soul Tower Hamlets, and he has also played for Frenford and spent some time in Romania with CS Pandurii Târgu Jiu.
