Club career

Born in Rio de Janeiro to a Basque father and a Brazilian mother,[2] Alves moved to Bilbao, Biscay, Basque Country at nine months of age[3] and was a Santutxu FC youth graduate. After making his senior debut in 2013, he went on to become a regular starter for the side in Tercera División before signing for Segunda División B side SD Amorebieta on 1 July 2015.[4]

On 25 June 2017, Alves agreed to a two-year contract with Barakaldo CF, also in the third division.[5] An immediate first-choice, he moved to fellow league team CD Atlético Baleares on 14 July 2018.[6]

On 19 July 2019, Alves joined UD Ibiza still in division three, on a 1+1 deal.[7] He renewed his contract for a further year on 9 August 2020,[8] and helped the club in their first-ever promotion to Segunda División at the end of the campaign; he extended his link for a further year on 30 June 2021.[9]

Alves made his professional debut at the age of 26 on 13 August 2021, starting in a 0–0 away draw against Real Zaragoza.[10] On 14 June of the following year, he signed a two-year contract with Racing de Santander, recently promoted to the second division.[11]

Alves left Racing on 11 June 2024, after failing to agree new terms,[12] and agreed to a three-year deal with fellow second division side CD Tenerife on 31 July.[13]
