Club career

Early career

Born in Zumarraga, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country,[2] García started his career in the cantera of Real Sociedad, and made his senior debut with Alicante CF B in 2009–10. He was promoted to the latter's first team later that year, but suffered relegation from Segunda División B in his second season.[3]

On 24 June 2011, García joined fellow league club Getafe CF B.[4]

Eibar

García signed with Real Sociedad in July 2012, being immediately loaned back to the third tier to play for SD Eibar.[5] He finished his debut campaign with 41 league appearances to his credit, helping the side to promote in the playoffs.[6][7]

In July 2013, García's loan to Eibar was renewed,[8] and he made his Segunda División debut on 18 August, starting in a 2–1 away win against Real Jaén.[9] On 26 June 2014 he signed permanently with the Armeros, promoted to La Liga for the first time ever.[6]

García made his debut in the Spanish top flight on 24 August 2014, starting in a 1–0 home victory over former employers Real Sociedad.[10] He scored his first goal in the competition on 19 September, opening the 2–0 away defeat of Elche CF.[11]

On 17 November 2015, García renewed his contract with Eibar until 2018.[12] In April 2017, having only missed nine league games since their promotion, he became the first player to reach the milestone of 100 top-division appearances for the club;[13] in October of the same year, he became only their twelfth player to play in 200 matches.[14]

Athletic Bilbao

On 3 June 2018, Athletic Bilbao announced that García had signed a four-year contract after the transfer was agreed in March.[15][14]
