Football career

Born in La Oliva, Province of Las Palmas, Alberto finished his formation with local CD Tenerife, making his senior debuts with the B-team in the fourth division. In his second season as a senior he appeared 17 times with the main squad (13 in the league) and scored three goals, achieving promotion to the second level via the play-offs.

On 18 August 2013 Alberto played his first game as a professional, coming on as a late substitute in a 0–1 away loss against AD Alcorcón.[1] On 13 August of the following year he renewed his contract for a further season, being immediately loaned to Valencia CF Mestalla in a season-long deal.[2]

On 10 November 2015, after returning from loan, Alberto extended his link until 2018.[3] He scored his first professional goal on 15 April 2017, netting his team's second in a 3–3 home draw against Girona FC.

On 28 June 2017, after establishing himself as a starter, Alberto renewed his contract until 2020.[4]
