Club career
editBorn in Luarca, Asturias, Álvarez represented Luarca CF and Real Avilés CF as a youth.[2] He made his senior debut with the latter's reserves on 26 February 2012, starting in a 0–2 Regional Preferente home loss against Valdesoto CF, and scored his first goal on 22 April in a 4–1 away routing of AD Universidad de Oviedo B.
In the 2012 summer, Álvarez moved to Real Oviedo and returned to the youth setup. He then featured rarely with the B-team in Tercera División before signing for fellow league team UP Langreo on 8 October 2013.[3]
Álvarez subsequently represented fourth division sides Caudal Deportivo,[4] Zamora CF[5] and Oviedo B[6] before joining Segunda División B side Rápido de Bouzas in July 2017.[7] He moved to fellow third division side CCD Cerceda the following January,[8] but returned to Zamora in July 2018 after suffering relegation.[9]
On 3 July 2019, after scoring a career-best 20 goals, Álvarez returned to Langreo, with the club now in division three.[10] On 13 May 2020, he agreed to a deal with UD Ibiza in the same category,[11] and was the club's top goalscorer with ten goals during the campaign, as they achieved a first-ever promotion to Segunda División.
Álvarez made his professional debut at the age of 26 on 13 August 2021, coming on as a second-half substitute for Ekain Zenitagoia in a 0–0 away draw against Real Zaragoza.[12] On 3 June 2022, he signed a two-year contract with an extension option for Polish Ekstraklasa side Wisła Płock.[13]
After a successful stint in Poland, with nine goals and three assists in 18 league appearances, Álvarez was transferred to Belgian side KAS Eupen on 31 January 2023.[14] On 18 July, however, he returned to Spain after being loaned to Primera Federación side Deportivo de La Coruña for one year.[15]
Regularly used as Dépor achieved promotion to the second division, Álvarez signed a permanent two-year contract with the club on 19 June 2024.[16]
