Alexander Sena Kudjoe Addai (born 20 December 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger for Cheltenham Town.

Club career

Addai started his career in the Tottenham Hotspur youth system. He joined Blackpool in 2010 and was given his first professional deal ahead of the 2012–13 season.[3] He then played for a number of non-league sides Carshalton Athletic, Whitehawk,[2] Crawley Down Gatwick,[4] Kingstonian,[5] Grays Athletic[6] and Wingate & Finchley[7] before joining Merstham in July 2016. In his final season at the club, Addai racked up nine goals in thirty-nine league appearances.[8]

Addai returned to league football with a move to League Two side Cheltenham Town in May 2018, on a one-year contract.[9] He made his professional home debut against Crawley Town, however Cheltenham lost the game 1–0.[10] Addai played frequently throughout the season and signed a new one-year deal in April 2019, with an option for a further year that would be triggered by appearances, when then led to his contract being extended into the 2020-21 season.[11][12] On 20 November 2020, Addai joined Maidenhead United on a one-month loan.[13] On 23 January 2021, he was a substitute in Cheltenham Town's FA Cup fourth round 3-1 loss to Manchester City.[14]
