Alex Revell (born July 7, 1983) is an English football striker currently playing for Southend United.
[edit] Finding his feet
Revell is a graduate of the Cambridge United youth set-up, where he struggled to establish himself during his stint at the Abbey Stadium.
Discovering his first team opportunities at Cambridge were limited, Revell spent a loan spell at then Conference National club Kettering Town. Soon afterwards he left the club in 2004 where he made the decision to drop out of the Football League by joining Braintree Town.
During his time at Braintree, Revell managed to find the net 35 times for the club, where he managed to help them gain promotion to the Conference South during the 2005-06 season.
[edit] Brighton days
Revell was signed by Brighton & Hove Albion from Braintree for £8,000 during the close season of 2005-06. He very quickly became a popular figure with the fans thanks to his strong work ethic and whole hearted displays.
On 1 January 2008, Revell scored his first professional hat-trick as Brighton defeated Bournemouth 3-2 at the Withdean.
During the January transfer window of 2007, Revell was strongly tipped for a move to Championship side Coventry City, after he attracted interest from former Brighton manager Micky Adams, but nothing came of it.
However on 30 January 2008 Revell made his move from Brighton to Southend on a two-and-a-half year contract for £150,000. Tilson had been a long admirer of Revell and tried to sign him in August 2007 transfer window.
