Club career[edit]

García was born in Barcelona, Catalonia, and joined RCD Espanyol's youth setup in 2017, from CE Mercantil. On 22 August 2018, after finishing his formation, he joined Segunda División B side CF Badalona.[2]

García made his senior debut on 26 August 2018, starting in a 1–3 home loss against former side Espanyol's B-team.[3] The following 31 January, after being rarely used, he moved to Tercera División side UE Sant Andreu.[4]

On 25 July 2019, García returned to the third division after agreeing to a contract with CF La Nucía.[5] The following 9 January, he moved to fellow league team AE Prat.[6]

On 27 July 2020, García signed for Deportivo Alavés and was initially assigned to the reserves in division three.[7] He made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 13 September, coming on as a late substitute for Pere Pons in a 0–1 home loss against Real Betis.[8]

On 30 June 2021, García signed a three-year deal with Albacete Balompié, freshly relegated to Primera División RFEF.[9] After helping in the club's promotion back to Segunda División, he was loaned to third tier side CE Sabadell FC on 1 September 2022.[10]

On 17 July 2023, García terminated his contract with Alba.[11]
