Football career

Alfredo was born in Madrid. Starting in 1993–94 he played his first seven seasons as a professional in Segunda División, with hometown's CD Leganés and CA Osasuna: in the last one he appeared in 37 games and scored four goals, to help the latter return to La Liga after an absence of six years.

Subsequently Alfredo competed with the Navarrese in the top level, his best year being 2002–03 – 31 matches, 21 starts, 1,910 minutes of action. Released in the 2004 summer he then was an undisputed starter during three second level campaigns with Elche CF, and he retired at the end of 2007–08 (aged nearly 36) in Segunda División B, where he represented Benidorm CF.

Immediately after retiring Alfredo re-joined Osasuna, going on to act as assistant coach for several managers.
