Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox cricketer Alex Horton (born 7 January 2004) is a Welsh cricketer who plays for Glamorgan as a wicket-keeper. Before making his senior debut for Glamorgan, Horton also played for the England under-19 cricket team.[1][2] Horton was one of the youngest players to represent Glamorgan, after he made his debut for the team in a second XI match.[3]

From Newbridge, Caerphilly, Horton took his A-Levels at St Edward's School, Oxford.[4]

At the age of 17, Horton signed a five-year contract with Glamorgan, after coming through their academy programme.[5] In September 2021, Horton was named in England's under-19 squad to play in a six-match series against the West Indies.[5] Three months later, Horton was selected in England's squad to play at the 2022 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup in the Caribbean.[6][7] In England's first match of the tournament, against Bangladesh, Horton took six catches,[8] with the team winning by seven wickets.[9] In the Super League semi-final match against Afghanistan, Horton scored 53 not out from 36 balls to help England reach the final of the tournament, an innings that was described as "something special".[10] In the final of the tournament, against India, Horton took a catch to dismiss Harnoor Singh.[11] However, India went on to win the match and the tournament.[12]

In June 2022, Horton was selected to make his first team debut for Glamorgan after their first choice wicket-keeper Chris Cooke was ruled out due to a calf injury.[13] Horton was due to play against Gloucestershire on 18 June 2022 in their T20 Blast match.[13] However, despite the toss taking place, the match was abandoned with no play taking place due to rain.[14] The match was officially recorded as a no result,[15] meaning that Horton made his Twenty20 debut despite no actual play being possible.[16] The following day, in the T20 Blast match against the Sussex Sharks, Horton took part in the match, where he made his first dismissal with the stumping of Harrison Ward.[17] Glamorgan went on to win the match by four wickets.[18]
