Edgard Anthony Álvarez Reyes (born 9 January 1980 in Puerto Cortés) is a Honduran footballer. He currently plays for Palermo. He can play anywhere on the right flank.
After a successful loan period, A.S. Roma paid €1.5 million to Peñarol, but immediately loaned him to Messina and granted the club an option to buy him for €1.9 million. He signed a 5-year contract.
After spending the 06/07 season at Messina Álvarez returned to Roma. At the summer transfer period AS Roma bought Mauro Esposito and Álvarez decided to leave Roma for Livorno, who maintained an option to buy him for €2 million.[1] He left Roma due to the surplus of right midfielders. After spending the 07/08 season at Livorno, Alvarez returned to Roma, and spent a full pre-season with the club, But he was loaned for the 08/09 season to Pisa on September 1, 2008.
In 2009 he moved to Bari, on a permanent basis. The first year with the pugliesi turned out well. Under the guidance of Giampiero Ventura Álvarez became one of the best wings in Serie A. The second year did not turn out as well though and the club finished the season in last, moving to Serie B. Over two years Álvarez played in 65 league games, scoring 4 goals.
On 31 August 2011 Álvarez moved to Palermo as the player agreed to a two-year contract with the club.
Played with Honduras at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Alvarez is known for his searing pace and acceleration, both on and off the ball. He is also very agile, making him very difficult for defenders to mark.
