Born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Alberto played as a youth for CD Santidad Banot, Universidad de Las Palmas CF and Arucas CF,[1] and made his senior debut with the latter in the 2011–12 campaign in the Primera Regional. He helped the club to achieve two promotions before signing for Tercera División side Villarrubia CF in August 2016.[2]
In June 2017, Alberto returned to his native region after joining UD Tamaraceite in the Regional Preferente.[3] He achieved promotion to the fourth tier in his first season, and was also a regular starter as his side promoted to the Segunda División B for the first time ever in 2020.
On 9 July 2021, Alberto went on a trial at Segunda División side CD Lugo.[4] Late in the month, he signed a one-year contract with the club.[5] He made his club debut on 2 December, starting in a 2–2 draw at AD Unión Adarve in the season's Copa del Rey, as his side won 4–3 on penalties.[6]
