Club career
After playing throughout most of his career in third division or lower, mainly with hometown's Amurrio Club, Álvaro arrived at already 27 at CD Numancia, in the second level.[1] His first game in the competition occurred on 29 August 2009, as he featured one minute in a 2–1 away win against Celta de Vigo;[2] already as a starter he scored his first goal as a professional, in a 1–0 home win over Real Unión.[3]
Álvaro terminated his contract with the Soria club in early August 2011,[4] going on to spend the following two seasons in Georgia with FC Dinamo Tbilisi, where he shared teams with several compatriots.[5] In the summer of 2013 he joined Azerbaijan Premier League side Inter Baku PIK, on a two-year deal.[6]
In January 2016, Álvaro left Auckland City,[7] moving back to Europe and eventually returning to Dinamo Tbilisi later in the month.[8]
