Geraldo Washington Regufe Alves (born 8 November 1980) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Romanian club FC Astra Giurgiu as a central defender.
Born in Póvoa de Varzim, Alves finished his football formation at hometown's Varzim SC, signing in 1999 with Primeira Liga giants S.L. Benfica and appearing in five league games over the course of two seasons, being mainly registered with the B-team in the third division. He was the first player to be given a professional debut by José Mourinho.
However, when first team opportunities proved few, Alves moved to fellow league club S.C. Beira-Mar in January 2002, where he was irregularly used. After a season with Gil Vicente F.C. he joined F.C. Paços de Ferreira, experiencing his most steady career period: in the 2006–07 campaign, as they achieved a first ever qualification to the UEFA Cup, he played 28 matches and added three goals, including two in a 2–1 home win over C.D. Nacional on 7 April 2007.
On 5 June 2007, Alves signed a three-year deal worth €1.3 million with AEK Athens FC, where younger brother Bruno had previously played, loaned by FC Porto. In a 20 September UEFA Cup match against FC Red Bull Salzburg, he scored his first AEK goal in a 3–0 home win (3–1 on aggregate).
