After playing for four years in the youth categories of Valencia CF, Alfaro joined Elche CF in 2018.[1] He made his senior debut with the latter's reserves on 4 September 2021, starting in a 1–1 Tercera División RFEF home draw against Hércules CF B.[2]

Alfaro scored his first senior goal on 5 January 2022, netting the B's second in a 2–2 away draw against the same opponent.[3] In July, he was included in the first team's pre-season,[4] before making his professional – and La Liga – debut on 15 August, after coming on as a second-half substitute for Gerard Gumbau in a 3–0 away loss against Real Betis.[5][6]
