Alejandro "Álex" Domínguez Romero (born 30 July 1998) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Primera Federación club Ponferradina.

Career

Born in Granollers, Barcelona, Catalonia, Domínguez represented CE Sabadell FC as a youth before making his senior debut with the reserves on 6 December 2014, starting in a 2–1 Tercera División home loss against UE Castelldefels. After one further match for the B-side, he moved to RCD Espanyol and was assigned back to the youth setup.

In 2016, Domínguez was loaned to CF Damm for one year, to finish his formation; upon returning, he was assigned to Espanyol's B-team also in the fourth division. He featured sparingly for the side, and renewed his contract until 2020 on 22 March 2018.[1]

On 10 July 2018, after achieving promotion, Domínguez agreed to a three-year deal with another reserve team, Deportivo Alavés B still in division four.[2] On 28 August of the following year, after another promotion, he moved to UD Las Palmas and was initially assigned to the B-side in the Segunda División B.[3]

Domínguez made his first team debut on 20 July 2020, starting in a 5–1 home routing of Extremadura UD in the Segunda División.[4] He began the 2020–21 campaign as a backup to Álvaro Valles, but was made a starter by manager Pepe Mel in November after a poor run of form from Valles.[5]

On 27 July 2021, after losing his starting spot back to Valles, Domínguez was loaned to second division newcomers UD Ibiza for a year.[6] Upon returning, he was again a backup to Valles as the club achieved promotion to La Liga.

On 26 July 2023, Domínguez moved abroad and signed for Ligue 1 side Toulouse FC.[7] On 16 January 2025, he returned to his home country after agreeing to a six-month loan deal with SD Eibar.[8]

On 7 July 2026, Domínguez returned to Spain and signed with Ponferradina in Primera Federación.[9]
