Football career

Valladolid

Born in Zamora, Castile and León, García was a Real Valladolid youth graduate. He made his senior debut with the reserves in the 2006–07 campaign, in Segunda División B.

On 4 April 2010 García made his first team – and La Liga – debut, as a 34th-minute substitute for Marquitos in a 0–2 loss to Villarreal CF at the Estadio Nuevo José Zorrilla;[1] it was his maiden appearance of the season, which ended in relegation.

Salamanca

On 23 July 2010, García moved to Segunda División team UD Salamanca on a two-year deal.[2] He made his debut for the club on 29 August, coming on as a late substitute for Kike López in a 1–1 draw against Córdoba CF.

García scored his first professional goal in his only start of the campaign, netting the first in a 2–2 home draw against CD Numancia.[3] He contributed with eight appearances, again experiencing relegation.

In his second season for the Charros, García recorded eight goals in 31 third tier matches, including a brace on 5 February 2012 in a 3–2 triumph against Sestao River Club at the Helmántico Stadium.[4]

Later years

On 29 July 2012, free agent García moved to fellow league team Zamora CF.[5] He scored eight goals in 29 games, including two on 23 March 2013 to give his team a lead at Real Oviedo before falling 2–3 at the end.[6]

García joined Oviedo on 24 June 2013.[7] He netted six times in 29 games in 2013–14, including two goals in a 4–1 win at UD Logroñés with only 30 minutes on the field.[8] In 2014–15, his six goals in 35 matches helped the Asturians to secure promotion back to the second level after thirteen years. Highlights included another double in a 4–0 rout of SD Amorebieta at the Estadio Carlos Tartiere in the first round of the season's Copa del Rey on 3 September 2014.[9]

On 27 July 2015, García returned to the third tier, signing a two-year deal at FC Cartagena.[10]
