Álvaro Núñez is a Spanish right-back, born on 7 June 2000 (age 26), who plays for Celta Vigo and wears the number 15 shirt.

His clearest run of senior football came at Amorebieta in 2023-24, when he made 39 league appearances and scored twice. For a full-back, that was a useful season rather than a flashy one, and it gave his career a solid platform.

His career so far has been built around steady right-back work in Spain, with Amorebieta providing the busiest spell and Celta offering the higher-level stage.
