Alexander "Álex" Alegría Moreno (born 10 October 1992) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward.
Born in Plasencia, Province of Cáceres, Extremadura, Alegría finished his development with CP Cacereño, and made his senior debut in the Segunda División B during the 2010–11 season. On 18 July 2012, he signed a two-year contract with Real Betis, being assigned to the reserves also in the third division.[2]
Alegría agreed to a new deal with the Andalusians on 11 July 2014 after scoring nine goals in the 2013–14 campaign.[3] He made his professional debut on 1 March 2015, coming on as a second half substitute for Francisco Portillo in a 0–0 away draw against CD Mirandés in the Segunda División.[4]
On 8 July 2015, Alegría renewed his link until 2017, being immediately loaned to CD Numancia of the second tier.[5] He appeared in his first match for the club on 23 August, playing 12 minutes and scoring a brace in the 6–3 home win over CD Tenerife.[6]
On 15 June 2016, after 42 competitive games at the Nuevo Estadio Los Pajaritos, Alegría was definitively promoted to Betis' first team.[7] He made his debut in La Liga on 11 September of that year, starting in a 3–2 away victory against Valencia CF.[8]
Alegría scored his first goals in the Spanish top flight on 16 September 2016, a brace in a 2–2 home draw with Granada CF.[9] The following 29 January, he put the hosts ahead in an eventual 1–1 draw against FC Barcelona also at the Estadio Benito Villamarín.[10]
On 29 June 2017, Alegría was loaned to fellow top-division club Levante UD for one year.[11] He suffered a knee injury in November, being sidelined for the remainder of the campaign.[12]
On 31 August 2018, Alegría joined Rayo Vallecano on a one-year loan.[13] [14] The following 31 January, however, he moved to Sporting de Gijón also in a temporary deal.[15]
On 2 July 2019, Alegría agreed to a five-year contract with RCD Mallorca as a free agent.[16] The following 24 January, after being sparingly used, he moved to second division side Extremadura UD on loan for the remainder of the campaign.[17]

On 1 September 2022, Alegría moved to Primera Federación club CF Fuenlabrada on a one-year loan.[20] This arrangement was terminated in January 2023, and he left Mallorca shortly after.[21]
