Club career[]
Born in León, García managed to appear twice for Valencia CF's first team during the 1993–94 season in La Liga, but spent his career mainly in the second and third divisions. He made his debut in the top tier on 20 March 1994, playing 60 minutes in a 1–0 home win against Sporting de Gijón.[1]
García represented, other than Valencia, CD Castellón, Andorra CF, CP Almería, UE Figueres, CD Badajoz, UDA Gramenet, Terrassa FC and SD Huesca. In June 2011, after contributing with 12 matches (ten starts, 914 minutes of action) as the last club retained its second level status, he retired from football at the age of 38.
