Early years
Ben Alexander-Arnold was born in Liverpool, England. He grew up playing football (soccer) as well as a little American football due to the increasing popularity of the sport in his country. At high school he started to show promise at the sport and was scouted by teams from different leagues across North America.
Professional career
SCFSL career
At the age of 16 Alexander-Arnold was flown to Toronto, Canada to try out for the new football team competing in the inaugaral season of the SCFSL. He earned a place on the Toronto Rush and played at cornerback. His first season of professional football was relatively quiet with 6 pass deflections and 5 interceptions after 12 games played, he had to get used to the pace of the game as well as competing with grown men. In his second and third seasons in the league he improved relatively quietly increasing his interceptions to 7 and then 8, while also recording 6 sacks in his third season. The Rush made it to the championship game in the third season of the league where they lost a tight game with the Omaha Vipers. Currently in the fourth season of the league, Alexander-Arnold recorded 4 sacks, 9 pass deflections, and 7 interceptions, also adding a forced fumble.
DSFL career
Alexander-Arnold entered DSFL waivers in 2039 and ended up on the team he had been training with during the offseason, the Tijuana Luchadores. After the Mexican team had scouted him from the SCFSL they wanted to bring him in but due to his contract commitments with the Toronto Rush he was unable to enter the 2039 DSFL draft. He now has restructured his contract with Rush in order to play in the DSFL during their offseason.
In the 2039 DSFL season Alexander-Arnold lead the league in passes defended for most of the year, slowing down as the season came to a close to finish fifth in the category. He and opposite starting corner Rich Triplet formed a formidable barrier for opposing Quarterbacks to contend with as a part of a league best defence that helped Tijuana have the number one seed going in to the playoffs. Unfortunately they couldn't finish the job, losing in a tight game that went to overtime in the SFC championship against the Norfolk Seawolves.
ISFL career
After being drafted by the Austin Copperheads, Alexander-Arnold requested to remain in Tijuana for at least another season to try win a championship with some of his fellow 2040 draftees who also remained in the DSFL. He signed a three year contract with Austin with $6 million dollars guaranteed.
