Aleksandar Vrteski (sometimes spelt Alex) (born September 28, 1988 in Karratha, Western Australia) is an Australian football (soccer) player. He currently plays as a goalkeeper for Australian side Perth Glory.
Vrteski was originally signed from the Australian Institute of Sport. The 17-year-old made his debut for the Young Socceroos, keeping a clean sheet in a 4-0 win over Sri Lanka in Colombo to seal the U-20s’ place in the Asian Youth Championships.
Vrteski is the youngest player contracted to a Hyundai A-League club. Having been involved with former youth development scheme, Future Glory, in the past, Vrteski was invited by technical manager, Mich d’Avray, to train with the first team as part of the Pathway to Glory initiative midway through 2005.
In October 2006, Aleks became the club's first choice goalkeeper for the 06/07 season after Jason Petkovic's season (and possibly career) ending injury in Round Nine.
Aleks has played for Australia at U-17 and U-20 levels.
He is of Macedonian origin.[citation needed]
