García was born in Santander, Cantabria, and represented Racing de Santander and Girona FC as a youth. He made his senior debut with Girona FC B (which was at the time the C-team) on 27 May 2018, playing the last 15 minutes of a 1–0 Segona Catalana home win against UE Marca de L'Ham.

On 23 July 2018, after finishing his formation, García signed for Tercera División side CD Tropezón.[1] On 7 August 2020, after two seasons as a regular starter, he moved to CD Mirandés and was assigned to the reserves also in the fourth division.[2]

García made his professional debut on 19 September 2020, coming on as a late substitute for Bojan Letić in a 1–1 home draw against Real Oviedo in the Segunda División.[3] On 19 July of the following year, after being sparingly used for the B's, he returned to Tropezón, with the side now in the Segunda División RFEF.[4]
