He can operate on both flanks as well as being able to fill in as a left-back.
McGuiness also commented on the signing of Alvarado.
“Diego knows what it means to play for Rhyl FC having supported them growing up and being local and I feel it’s vitally important we have players in our side like this in the season to come and I’m looking forward to working with him.”
