Biography
Alejandro 'Álex' Cortell Palanca (born 8 November 1990) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for CD Olímpic de Xàtiva as a forward.
Football career
Born in Moncada, Valencia, Cortell graduated with Valencia CF's youth setup, but moved abroad in the 2009 summer after signing with Belgian Pro League club Royal Excelsior Mouscron. On 8 August 2009 he made his professional debut, coming on as a first-half substitute in a 0–0 home draw against K.S.V. Roeselare, but left in December due to unpaid wages.
Cortell subsequently returned to his native country and represented Ribarroja CF and UD Alzira, both in Tercera División. After scoring 20 goals for the latter he returned to Valencia, being assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B.
Cortell continued to appear in the third division in the following years, representing CD Olímpic de Xàtiva, CE Sabadell FC, CD Alcoyano, Lleida Esportiu, UD Socuéllamos and Atlético Levante UD. He returned to Olímpic on 1 August 2018, with the club now in the fourth level.
