Imanol García Lugea (born 26 December 1995) is a Spanish footballer who plays for CD Alcoyano as a central midfielder.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Ezcároz – Ezkaroze, Navarre, García made his senior debut with AD San Juan, starting in a 0–1 Tercera División home loss against CD Valle de Egüés.[1] He scored his first goal on 2 November, the game's only in an away victory over CD Corellano.[2]

García signed with CA Osasuna in 2015, being initially assigned to the reserves also in the fourth division. On 18 September 2016, he made his first-team – and La Liga – debut, starting in a 0–0 home draw with RC Celta de Vigo.[3]

García played eight league matches for the main squad during that season, suffering relegation. On 30 June 2017, he rejected a renewal offer from the club,[4] and joined Villarreal CF B two days later.[5]

On 11 July 2018, García returned to Osasuna after agreeing to a two-year deal.[6] On 20 November, he was loaned to fellow second division side Gimnàstic de Tarragona until the end of the campaign, as a replacement for the injured César Arzo.[7] He scored his first goal as a professional on his debut for the Catalans, in a 2–2 home draw against UD Almería.[8]

García terminated his contract with Osasuna on 19 July 2019,[9] and signed a one-year deal with Córdoba CF just hours later,[10] reuniting with manager Enrique Martín.[11] In the summer of 2020, he moved to Pontevedra CF also of the third tier.[12]

Personal life

[edit]

García's older brother, Unai, was also a footballer. A defender, he too represented Osasuna.[13]
