Despite his young age and lack of experience, Alfred played as a starter. During the season he collected 39 appearances, plus one in the playoffs as well as an appearance in Coppa Italia.[4][5] After a good season played with the pitagorici, the following season Torino decided to loan him again, but only after he was made available for the preliminaries of the Europa League played against the Swedes of Brommapojkarna, as second choice goalkeeper, behind Daniele Padelli, for the first leg played 31 July 2014 in Stockholm.

He made his official debut with the team on 17 August 2014, during the second round of Coppa Italia, which saw him maintain a clean sheet, the match ending 2–0 for Avellino. His league debut took place 30 August, during the first day of the championship against Pro Vercelli, finishing 1–0 in favour of Vercelli. On 28 October 2014, he parried a penalty kicked by Rodrigo Taddei in the final minutes of a match against Perugia, ending 0–0. He played 31 matches in the league and finished first in the Top 15 of the goalkeepers in Serie B according to a list compiled by the Lega Serie B.[6]
Cesena (loan)
On 30 July 2015 he was loaned to newly relegated Serie B club Cesena with a buyout clause and a buy-back clause in favour of Torino.[7]
