Club career edit
Mallorca edit
García was born in Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands. A product of local club RCD Mallorca's youth system, he spent his first two years as a senior with the reserves, the last in the Segunda División B.
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 edit
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 edit
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]
