Alejandro Miguel "Álex" Mula Sánchez (born 23 July 1996) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Málaga CF mainly as a right winger.

Club career

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Mula joined Málaga CF's youth setup in 2011, from RCD Espanyol.[1] He made his debut with the reserves on 30 March 2013 at the age of 17, starting in a 1–2 Tercera División home loss against UD San Pedro.[2]

Mula scored his first senior goals on 7 September 2014, netting a hat-trick in a 7–0 home routing of CD Español del Alquián.[3] He subsequently became a regular starter for the B-side in the following seasons, scoring a career-best 11 goals in 2016–17.

After playing regularly with the first team during the 2017 pre-season, Mula was promoted to the main squad by manager Míchel.[4] He made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 26 August of that year, starting in a 0–1 away loss against Girona FC.[5]

On 31 January 2018, Mula was loaned to Segunda División side CD Tenerife for the remainder of the campaign.[6] He scored his first professional goal on 26 February, netting the last in a 3–1 home defeat of CD Lugo.

On 9 March 2018, Mula scored a brace in a 3–1 home win over Real Oviedo.
