Alexander Thomas "Alex" Meechan (born January 29, 1980 in Plymouth, England) is an English footballer. He was released by York City in November 2007.

Career

Meechan was an Associate Schoolboy at Norwich City in the 1994–95 season.[2] He moved to Swindon Town in 1997. He was signed by Bristol City in 1998. During this spell he spent time on loan with Yeovil Town, who were in the Conference National at the time.

Meechan was signed by Forest Green Rovers in 2001.[3] Meechan's goals helped Rovers continually avoid relegation from the Conference National.[citation needed] He was signed by Dagenham & Redbridge on a two-year deal in 2003.[4] Dagenham had come within a whisker of promotion to The Football League in the previous two seasons but this spell was not to provide the dream ticket for Meechan, as the Daggers languished in mid-table in the 2003–04 season. Meechan re-joined Forest Green on a three-month loan in November 2003,[5] after which he was released by the club.[6] Meechan was re-signed by Forest Green Rovers following his release by Dagenham.[6] He was signed by Leigh RMI in 2004.[7]

Meechan was signed by Halifax Town in November 2004.[8] After his release by Halifax, Meechan was spoken to by Barrow but instead returned for his third spell with Forest Green Rovers in 2005.[9][10] He was released by Forest Green and joined Chester City on 30 January 2007 until the end of the season. This provided Meechan with a surprise return to Football League circles, although he was to rarely be in the starting line-up. He was moved from striker to the wing, a position he struggled in.[11][12] He was released in May 2007 after failing to establish himself in the Chester side.[13]

Meechan was signed by York City on 10 July 2007[14] on a short-term contract. He was left out for eight games after his performance against Forest Green Rovers but returned to the side against Halifax Town, where he scored a winning goal from the substitute bench.[15] He was released by the club when his short-term contract came to an end in November 2007.[16] Alex signed for Blue Square North side Stalybridge Celtic on 9th November 2007. .[17]
