Born in Vigo, Galicia, Álvarez made his senior debuts with Las Rozas CF, after playing youth football with RC Celta de Vigo and Real Madrid. He first arrived in Segunda División B in summer 2006 by signing for Rayo Vallecano, and remained in that level for that and the following six seasons, representing in quick succession CD Leganés, AD Alcorcón, Zamora CF, UD Almería B, Real Unión[2] and FC Cartagena.[3]
On 11 July 2013, Álvarez joined Real Jaén, freshly promoted to division two.[4] On 25 August he made his debut as a professional, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–4 away defeat against CD Numancia in the Segunda División championship;[5] he scored his first goal on 8 September in a 3–1 home win against Girona FC,[6] and appeared regularly for the Andalusians which were relegated at the end of the campaign.
On 22 July 2014, Álvarez moved to fellow league club Real Murcia.[7] However, after its administrative relegation, he terminated his contract and signed with CD Tenerife also in the second tier.[8]
