Club career

Álvaro was born in Amurrio, Álava. After spending most of his career in Segunda División B or lower, mainly with hometown's Amurrio Club, he arrived at already 27 at CD Numancia of the Segunda División.[1][2] His first game in the competition occurred on 29 August 2009, as he played one minute in a 2–1 away win against RC Celta de Vigo.[3] Already as a starter, he scored his first goal as a professional, in a 1–0 home victory over Real Unión.[4]

Álvaro terminated his contract with the Soria club in early August 2011,[5] going on to spend the following two seasons in Georgia with FC Dinamo Tbilisi, where he shared teams with several compatriots.[6] In the summer of 2013, he joined Azerbaijan Premier League side Inter Baku PIK on a two-year deal.[7]

Álvaro left Auckland City FC in January 2016,[8] and rejoined Dinamo Tbilisi later in the month.[9] He returned to both his homeland and his native region on 16 January 2017, signing for third-tier SD Amorebieta.[10]
