Club career

Álvarez played for Saprissa and had loan spells at Belén Siglo XXI and Santos de Guápiles.[2] In January 2013, Álvarez moved abroad and signed a 5-year contract with Guatemalan side Xelajú[3] but a surplus in foreigners forced him to be loaned out to Aurora.[4] He received Guatemalan citizenship in September 2013[5] and joined Malacateco in January 2014.

International career

He was included in the Costa Rica national football team for the 2011 Copa América,[6] but did not play at all in the tournament.[7]

He made his debut on 10 October 2020 in a friendly match against Panama.[8]
