Orebro Sports Manager Lennart Sjogren was pleased to have signed the American.
"We are very glad to sign Alejandro to ÖSK Fotboll," he told Goal.com via e-mail. "We have followed him for a year now, and it has been clear that he's got the potential to develop his skill in European football.
"We look forward to see him in Orebro in the beginning of January when we start the preseason. He's very welcome to the club and city in Orebro."
