Álvaro Silva Linares (born 30 March 1984) is a Filipino professional footballer who plays as a central defender.

Club career

Silva was born in Andújar, Jaén. After one loan, he made his professional début with Atlético Malagueño, appearing in two second division seasons and being relegated in the latter. His first contact with the first team came in the 2006–07 campaign, also in the second level (33 games, one goal).

In 2008–09 Silva was loaned by Málaga for a second time, to another Andalusian side, Xerez CD, appearing relatively as it achieved a first-ever La Liga promotion. On 16 July 2009 he returned to Málaga, being immediately released and joining neighbors Cádiz CF in the second level for three years.[1] A starter through most of the season, he suffered relegation this time.

In the 2011 summer, Silva returned to division two and Xerez.[2] After only one league appearance in the first half of the season, however, he moved abroad and penned a six-month contract with Liga I club FC Petrolul Ploiești.[3]

In January 2013, Silva signed an 18-month contract with Khazar Lankaran FK of the Azerbaijan Premier League.[4] He won his second piece of silverware on 23 October of that year, featuring against Neftchi Baku PFK in the Azerbaijan Supercup.[5]

After his stint in Azerbaijan, Silva turned down offers from clubs in Israel, Qatar and Spain which included Marbella FC, in favor of Kuwaiti Premier League's Qadsia SC.[6]

Silva later played for Daejeon Citizen F.C. after his stint with Qadsia SC. By August 30, 2016, after finishing his stint with Daejeon Citizen, Silva began training with Indonesian club Arema Cronus F.C. which is considering to sign him in. He will be likely signed by Arema Cronus if he passes medical examinations by the club.[7] However, the club eventually decided against his signing.[8]

International career

In early 2014, Silva started work on getting his Filipino passport as his paternal grandmother was Filipino.[9] so he would be eligible to play for the Philippines national team. By mid-June, he arrived in Manila to further process his documents.[10]

Silva made his international debut on 31 October 2014, coming on as a substitute in a 3–0 friendly win against Nepal.

Personal life

Silva was born to Spanish parents – his father being the son of a Filipina[9]– and traces his Filipino roots to Cavite and Iloilo.[10][11] His younger brother, Enrique, is also a footballer.[12]
