Alex Paulsen is a New Zealand goalkeeper, born on 4 July 2002 (age 24). At 6ft 4in (1.93m), he is a commanding presence in goal, which is a useful starting point rather than a complete job description.
His early senior league exposure came with Wellington Phoenix, where his most productive league season was 2021-22, with four appearances. It was a modest body of work, but enough to mark him out beyond the usual reserve-level traffic.
Paulsen is now with Motherwell, wearing squad number 13. In 2026-27, he has made two league appearances and four Conference League qualifying appearances, giving him six appearances across all competitions for the club.
His career so far has been a straightforward path from Wellington Phoenix to Motherwell, with the next stage likely to be judged on whether he can turn limited senior minutes into a steadier run in goal.
