Oalex Anderson (born 11 November 1995) is a Vincentian professional footballer who plays for North Carolina FC in USL Championship and the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines national team. Anderson is known by the nickname "Bounty" for his prolific goal scoring.[3]

Club career

[edit]

Anderson has played for System 3 FC of the NLA Premier League, the top tier of football in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.[4] Anderson was the league's top scorer for the 2013/2014 season.[5] In September 2014, System 3 loaned Anderson to Grenades FC of the Antigua and Barbuda Premier Division, along with national teammate Kevin Francis, on 6-month deals.[6] Only days later, Anderson scored his first goal for the club on 27 September 2014 in a 6–3 league victory over Old Road FC on his league debut.[7] During his time with the club, Anderson appeared in 18 matches, finishing second in the league with 12 goals.[8]

Anderson joined USL club Seattle Sounders FC 2, of which fellow Vincentian Ezra Hendrickson was coach, in March 2015.[8] He made his debut for the club on 11 April 2015, in a 2–1 victory over Portland Timbers 2 as an 82nd-minute substitute for Aaron Kovar.[9] The score was tied 1–1 as he made his entrance but minutes later, he was taken down in the box for a penalty which Pablo Rossi converted to give S2 the victory.[10] Anderson scored his first goal for the club on 15 May 2015, the game-winner of a 3–1 victory over Oklahoma City Energy.[11] On 12 July 2015, Anderson scored his first brace for the club before being carted off with an injury in the 30th minute as Sounders 2 beat Arizona United, 4–0.[12] Anderson's 2nd-minute first goal was, at that point, the fastest goal in club history. For his efforts, Anderson was named to the USL's Team of the Week.[13]

On 4 December 2015, it was announced that Anderson would return to S2 for the 2016 USL season, along with international teammate Myron Samuel.[14] It was announced on 1 March 2016 that Anderson had been signed by the Seattle Sounders FC of Major League Soccer.[15] That year the club won its first MLS Cup.[16] Following the 2016 season, it was announced that the club would not extend Anderson's contract.[17]

After a four year gaps because of a serious injury, Anderson signed with the Richmond Kickers on August 31, 2020.[18]

Anderson signed with North Carolina FC on 18 January 2022.[19] During the 2023 season, Anderson finished as the team's top goal scorer with 17 goals en route to victory in the 2023 USL League One Final. On 26 October 2024, Anderson became the club's all-time top goal scorer after scoring the winning goal against Las Vegas Lights FC, helping his team clinch a spot in the 2024 USL Championship playoffs in the process.[20]

[edit]

Anderson made his international debut on 2 February 2014 in a friendly against Dominica. After a strong start to his international career, Anderson was named to the squad for the 2014 Windward Islands Tournament and 2014 Caribbean Cup qualification.
