Career

García was born in Madrid, and was a CF Trival Valderas youth graduate. He made his first team debut on 22 September 2019, coming on as a late substitute in a 1–0 Tercera División home win over Villaverde San Andrés.

García scored his first senior goal on 6 October 2019, netting Trival's second in a 3–0 away win over CD Móstoles URJC. On 19 August 2020, he moved to Getafe CF and was initially assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B.[1]

In February 2022, already established as a starter for the B-team, García suffered a knee injury and was sidelined for the remainder of the season.[2] Upon returning, he scored 11 goals in the 2022–23 campaign as the B's achieved promotion to Segunda Federación; highlights included a brace in a 3–1 home win over Córdoba CF B which sealed the club's promotion.[3]

García made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 20 August 2023, replacing Carles Aleñá in a 3–0 away loss to Girona FC.[4][5]
