Club career
Born in Villarreal, Valencian Community, García was a youth product at local club Villarreal CF, making his senior debut in 2009 and going on to spend several seasons in the Tercera División with the C team. On 19 June 2010 he made his first appearance with the reserves, playing ten minutes in a 1–2 Segunda División home loss against UD Salamanca.[2]
On 16 July 2014, after featuring regularly for the B side in the Segunda División B, García signed a two-year contract with Albacete Balompié, recently returned to the second tier.[3] On 22 January of the following year, he returned to Villarreal B on loan until June.[4]
García moved abroad in summer 2016 by joining Romania's ASA 2013 Târgu Mureș but, shortly after, went back to Spain with third-division CF Fuenlabrada due to the former's economic problems.[5] In July 2018, he returned to both the second tier and Albacete.[6] He scored his first professional goal on 28 October 2020, opening an eventual 1–1 home draw with UD Las Palmas.[7][8]
On 10 July 2021, the free agent García agreed to a contract with Burgos CF also in division two.[9] Two years later, he signed for Anorthosis Famagusta FC of the Cypriot First Division.[10]
