Daniel García Rodríguez (born 21 September 1987), commonly known as Toti, is a Spanish footballer who plays for Deportivo Alavés as an attacking midfielder.

Club career

Toti was born in Salamanca, Castile and León. A UD Salamanca's youth graduate, he made his senior debuts with the reserves in 2005–06, in Tercera División, while still a junior; in the same season he appeared with the main squad, playing six games as it returned to Segunda División at the first attempt.

On 16 June 2007 Toti featured in his first match as a professional, coming on as a late substitute in a 1–0 home win against Ciudad de Murcia.[1] He was definitely promoted to the first team in August, and scored his first goal on 8 June of the following year, netting the second of a 3–1 home success over Celta de Vigo.[2]

In August 2011, after suffering relegation from the second level, Toti signed for Granada CF[3] and was immediately loaned to Segunda División B's Cádiz CF.[4] On 31 August of the following year he joined Hércules CF in the second level, also in a temporary deal.[5]

On 30 August 2013 Toti moved to fellow league team Deportivo Alavés, in a season-long loan.[6] On 10 July of the following year, after appearing in 30 matches and scoring four goals, he signed permanently for the club.[7]
