Alex Crockett (born 20 November 1981 in Bath, Somerset, England) is an English rugby union player. Crockett plays as a Centre.

Bath Rugby

Crockett started his professional career at Bath.

He was called into the England Saxons squad to face Italy A in Ragusa, Sicily on 9 February 2008.

He was appointed joint captain (with Michael Lipman) for Bath in the 2008/9 season

Controversy

Crockett resigned from Bath along with co-captain Michael Lipman, and Andrew Higgins on 1 June 2009 in controversial circumstances amid allegations of refusing to take drug tests which the players deny. The RFU announced on 17 June that they would face an RFU disciplinary panel charged with "conduct prejudicial to the interests of the game". Crockett received a nine month ban.

Bristol Rugby

On 4 December 2009, it was announced that Crockett had signed a contract with Bristol Rugby which will last until the end of the 2009/10 season. Crockett joined Bristol for training in January but, due to the ban, was unable to play a competitive game until 1 March 2010.

His first game for his new club came against Nottingham in the British and Irish Cup on 7 March 2010. Bristol won the game with Crockett scoring a try in the first half.

Worcester Warriors

Crockett signed for Worcester on 2 June on a two-year deal.
