On 18 September 2010, García made his official debut for the first team, playing 90 minutes in a 2–0 La Liga home win against CA Osasuna.^[1] During his first professional season he was the most used left-back by manager Michael Laudrup, overtaking veterans Ayoze and Enrique Corrales.^[2]

García scored his first and only goal in the Spanish top flight on 6 January 2013, in the 1–1 home draw with Atlético Madrid.^[3]

Panetolikos

On 16 July 2014, García moved abroad and joined Panetolikos F.C. of the Super League Greece.^[4] He netted twice in 26 matches in his debut campaign, helping to a seventh-place finish.

Back to Spain

García returned to his homeland in February 2017, after agreeing to a contract with third-tier side CE L'Hospitalet.^[5] He continued to compete in that league the following years, representing CD Guijuelo, Burgos CF^[6] and Real Murcia.^[7]
