Alex Kite is a defender who came through the Rovers' youth system at the Bristol Academy of Sport. He was one of seven players promoted to the first team squad in the 2007 off-season, along with Charlie Clough, Tom Godsell, Matt Groves, Adam Mahdi, Ryan Paddock and Charlie Reece, although he never made any first team appearances for The Gas. He was named as an unused substitute for the first time in Rovers' 5–1 home victory over Rushden & Diamonds on 1 December 2007, and went on to be named on the bench a further three times, but never made it onto the pitch.
