Francisco Javier 'Javi' García Guerrero (born 22 October 1976 in Madrid) is a Spanish footballer who plays for UD Las Palmas in the Spanish second division, as a striker.
His main attribute is dribbling ability.
An unsuccessful youth graduate at Real Madrid, Guerrero also had loan stints with Real Jaén and Terrassa FC, respectively in the second and third divisions, before being released in the 1999 summer, after which he signed with Albacete Balompié, in the former category (20 league goals in two seasons).
In 2001–02, at Racing de Santander, he helped the Cantabria outfit achieve La Liga promotion, going on to establish as first-choice in the subsequent seasons at the club (an average of 11 goals per campaign).
In 2005–06, Guerrero joined Celta de Vigo, although he would appear sparingly as the Galicia outfit obtained a UEFA Cup spot. He moved in July 2006 to Recreativo de Huelva, initially on loan, making the move permanent for the 2007–08 season.
On 18 May 2008, Guerrero's last-minute goal in a 1–1 home contest against Real Valladolid, helped the Andalusia side retain its top flight status. After a weak 2008–09 (only two goals, club relegation), the 32-year old returned to level two, signing a two-year contract with UD Las Palmas, being the Canary Islands outfit's top scorer in his first two seasons (11+12).
