Born in La Palma del Condado, Huelva, Andalusia, Alfaro was a Sevilla FC youth graduate. He made his senior debut with the reserves on 3 January 2010, starting in a 0–0 Segunda División B home draw against Marbella FC.
On 3 January 2013, after only sparingly for the B-side in the following years, Alfaro terminated his contract and immediately joined fellow third division club Arroyo CP.[1] He remained in the category in the following four seasons, representing Algeciras CF,[2] CD Alcoyano[3] and FC Barcelona B,[4] achieving promotion to Segunda División with the latter in 2017.
Alfaro made his professional team debut on 28 August 2017, coming on as a substitute for Ferrán Sarsanedas in an 0–3 home loss against CD Tenerife.[5] The following 17 January, he signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with fellow second division side Real Zaragoza.[6]
On 8 August 2018, Alfaro was loaned to third division club Real Murcia for the season.[7] The following January, he moved to Hércules CF also in a temporary deal, before signing a permanent contract with the latter club on 11 July 2019.[8]
Alfaro's two brothers are also footballers: Juan José (1981), a midfielder, graduated in FC Barcelona's La Masia, but spent his entire career in Segunda División B or lower. Winger Alejandro (1986) appeared several seasons for Sevilla B, after emerging through the club's youth ranks.[9]
