Álvaro Silva Linares (born 30 March 1984 in Andújar, Jaén) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Xerez CD as a defender.

Football career

After one loan, Silva made his professioal debuts with Málaga CF B, appearing in two Segunda División campaigns, and relegating in the latter. His first contact with the first team came in 2006–07, also in the "silver category" (33 matches, one goal).

In 2008–09, Silva was loaned for a second time, to another Andalusian side, Xerez CD, appearing relatively as it achieved a first-ever top level promotion. In June 2009, he returned to Málaga, being immediately released and joining neighbours Cádiz CF (second level): a starter through most of the season, he suffered relegation this time.
