García had youth spells with Gimnasia y Esgrima, Independiente, Santamarina and Banfield.[2][3] He was loaned out in 2013 to Primera B Nacional side Brown, with his Brown and professional debut coming in a league defeat to Douglas Haig on 1 September 2013.[1] Four matches later, García scored the first goal of his career in a 3–3 draw with Unión Santa Fe.[1] He scored two goals in a game for the first time on 2 April 2014 in the Copa Argentina vs. Villa Cubas.[1] Brown were relegated in 2013–14, while Banfield were promoted as champions.[1] He remained with Brown in Primera B Metropolitana for two seasons.[1]

He returned to Banfield on 31 July 2017 and was subsequently loaned out again, this time to Ferro Carril Oeste.[1][6] He scored in his eighth appearance, versus former club Brown; scoring the first goal in a 2–2 draw.[1] García completed a move to Arsenal de Sarandí of Primera B Nacional in July 2018, subsequently netting on his league debut against Gimnasia y Esgrima (J) on 25 August.[1] In two seasons with the club, which included promotion in 2018–19, the forward scored ten goals in thirty appearances in all competitions.[1] In August 2020, García moved across the Primera División to Unión Santa Fe.[7]
