The left-sided defender joins the Jambos on a three-year contract from Brighton & Hove Albion for an undisclosed fee.
A familiar face in Gorgie, Alex spent a hugely successful campaign on loan at Tynecastle Park last season, helping the boys in maroon to secure third place in the cinch Premiership and European football, along with a Scottish Cup Final appearance.
The 22-year-old displayed his versatility on the left side of the pitch, making 40 first team appearances for the Jam Tarts and scoring three goals.
Having become Robbie Neilson’s fourth signing of the summer window, Alex will join his team-mates in Spain for the Jambos’ pre-season training camp, and the manager is eager to once again link up with the England U20 cap.
