Alexander Lucas Lind Rasmussen (born 26 June 2002) is a Danish professional footballer, who plays as a forward for Italian Serie B side Pisa SC.

Club career

Silkeborg IF

Lind joined Silkeborg IF in 2016 from Hørning IF. On 6 July 2017 - his 15th birthday - Lind signed a long trainee-contract with Silkeborg until the summer 2020, after an impressive first season with 33 goals for the U15s.[1]

In the autumn of 2019, he joined the training with SIF’s first team after extending his contract until the end of 2022.[2] At this point, Lind had played two reserve league games and one friendly game for the first team. He got his official debut in the last game of 2019, when he on 15 December 2019 replaced Filip Lesniak in the last minutes of a Danish Superliga game against Lyngby Boldklub.[3] Lind became the fourth-youngest debutant in the history of Silkeborg, aged 17 years 171 days old. He scores his first professional goal in on 15 June 2020 against Odense Boldklub.

In September 2023, Lind scored five goals in three league appearances, and his performances led to him being named Superliga Player of the Month.[4]

Pisa

On August 12, 2024, Serie B side Pisa SC confirmed that Lind joined the club on a deal until June 2028.[5]

Personal life

Alexander Lind is the older brother of Jonathan Lind, who is also a professional footballer.[6]
