Club Career

Early career

Born in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Alava, Garcia finished his development at Real Sociedad, and made his senior debut with the reserves in the 2005–06 season, in Segunda Division B. In July 2008 he signed for Segunda Division club SD Eibar, but was immediately loaned to Real Union in the third tier.

Garcia featured regularly during his loan spell, scoring eight goals to help his team return to division two after 44 years. In July 2009 he rejoined the Armeros, who in turn had suffered relegation. Despite being an undisputed starter during the campaign, he was deemed surplus to requirements in July 2010.

On 30 December 2010, Garcia joined fellow third-division side UD Logrones. In 2011–12 he netted a career-best seven goals, as they finished two points short of the play-offs.
