It was in the 2006-07 season of the China Open that Alfie had his good streak of good luck for success. He was able to defeat Shokat Ali, Rod Lawler and David Gray just to get himself qualified for the tournament.

Last November 25, 2009, he was the winner of the IBSF World Snooker Championship in India. Due to this, he now earned a place at the upcoming 2010/11 professionals main tour.
