Alexander Meyer was born on 13 April 1991 in Germany. He started in lower-division German football and progressed through clubs including SV Sandhausen and Jahn Regensburg, where he established himself as a senior 2. Bundesliga goalkeeper.
In 2022 Borussia Dortmund signed him as a senior backup goalkeeper behind first-choice Gregor Kobel. Across the 2022-23 season and beyond he has filled in when called upon, including in injury cover and rotation periods, and has been part of the squad through Dortmund's run to the 2023-24 Champions League final.
He has not been a regular Germany youth or senior international, but his long career as a reliable, level-headed goalkeeper across multiple German clubs has made him a respected senior figure in the Dortmund dressing room.
A goalkeeper with calm decision-making and willingness to step in when called upon, Meyer is exactly the kind of senior No. 2 / No. 3 figure Bundesliga title contenders need to balance their goalkeeper room.
Public information about him beyond the on-pitch role is still developing, and this profile will be updated as more career and biographical detail becomes confirmed from independent sources.
