Career

Alvacete's career began with Independiente Rivadavia.[1][2] He appeared for his senior debut in a Primera B Nacional defeat to Gimnasia y Esgrima in March 2011, on the way to a total of eight appearances in the 2010–11 campaign as they finished eighteenth.[1] In his 2011–12 opener versus Ferro Carril Oeste on 11 September 2011, Alvacete scored his first goal in a 3–0 victory at the Estadio Bautista Gargantini.[1] Goals against Gimnasia y Esgrima, Defensa y Justicia and Crucero del Norte came in two further seasons as he featured fifty-seven times for them.[1][3] On 12 July 2013, Alvacete joined Primera División side Tigre.[1]

Fellow top-flight club Godoy Cruz signed Alvacete on 30 June 2014.[1][4] He stayed for 2014, 2015 and 2016 to play in fifteen fixtures, though none of which came in 2016 as he departed the team.[1][5][6] Moves to Instituto and Santamarina in Primera B Nacional subsequently arrived, prior to Alvacete joining Villa Dálmine on 30 June 2018.[1] His first appearances followed in July in Copa Argentina games with UAI Urquiza and River Plate.[1][7]

In February 2021, Alvacete signed with Deportivo Maipú.[8] At the end of June 2021, he was loaned out to Central Norte for the rest of the year.[9] In January 2022, Alvacete moved to Chacarita Juniors.[10]
