The 30-year-old joined FC Pune in 2017-18 playing each and every match last season.

“After being a part of this exciting group last season, the decision to continue was as easy as it gets. I am confident that our team will continue from where it finished last season and give Orange army more reasons to celebrate,” Alfaro said.

The striker plied his trade as a professional first in his home country’s premier division club Liverpool FC in 2006. He donned the national colours against Italy in a friendly match in 2011 that got Italian club Lazio to pick him.

He spent three seasons with Lazio before joining Uruguayan club Liverpool FC in 2014-15 helping them win the Segunda Division title.
