Enrico Alfonso (born 4 May 1988) is an Italian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Cittadella.
Aged only 6 years old, Alfonso began his playing career with Alte di Montecchio. He spent 4 years with the club, before moving for one season at Montecchio Maggiore at the age of 10.
After that season, Alfonso joined Chievo's Giovanissimi. He was sent on loan to Pizzighettone of Serie C1 in summer 2006. He was competing with Alex Cordaz for first choice until Cordaz ended his loan.
On 27 August 2007, he joined Internazionale on co-ownership deal, for €1.9 million, signing a five-year deal with the club. He replaced Fabián Carini, who left for Real Murcia, as fourth goalkeeper (but in UEFA Champions League the 4th keeper was Paolo Tornaghi). He took the 71 shirt, which was previously owned by Cordaz.
On 17 January 2008 Alfonso made his debut against Reggina in the Coppa Italia, in the match he was forced to make two good saves in the end Inter won 3–0, and 7–1 on aggregate.
In January 2008 Alfonso was loaned out to Venezia until the end of the 2007–08 season.
Alfonso spent the 2008–09 season on loan to Serie B side Pisa. After Pisa's relegation to Lega Pro Prima Divisione, and ultimately its financial collapse, Internazionale secured a loan move to Modena for Alfonso for the 2009-10 Serie B season. In the next season he became the starting goalkeeper of Modena, played 31 times.
