Club career

[edit]

Born in Barranquilla, García moved to Spain at early age and represented Real Madrid and Rayo Vallecano as a youth. He made his senior debut with the latter's reserves on 6 September 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute for field player Luis Poblete in a 1–3 Tercera División home loss against CA Pinto.

On 11 July 2018, García joined another reserve team, Sevilla Atlético in Segunda División B.[2] He featured sparingly for the side during his spell, being often a backup to Javi Díaz and Alfonso Pastor.

On 8 September 2020, García signed a three-year contract with Deportivo de La Coruña also in the third division.[3] Initially a backup to Carlos Abad, he became the first-choice in February 2021.[4]

On 1 July 2021, García moved to Segunda División side SD Ponferradina.[5] He made his professional debut on 4 September, starting in a 0–2 away loss against CD Tenerife.[6]

On 28 July 2022, after being only a backup option to Amir Abedzadeh, García moved to Primera Federación side CF Rayo Majadahonda.[7]
