Football career

Born in Utrera, Province of Seville, García finished his formation with local CG Goyu-Ryu, signing for CD Utrera in August 2011.[1] He made his senior debuts in the 2011–12 season, with his team in the regional championships.

On 23 January 2013 García moved to San Fernando CD, in Segunda División B.[2] He finished the campaign with 15 appearances (12 starts), scoring one goal.

On 6 July, García joined La Liga side Granada CF for four years.[3] He featured with the first team during pre-season, and made his professional – and La Liga – debut on 18 August, playing the last twelve minutes of a 2–1 away win against CA Osasuna.[4]

On 28 August 2014 García was loaned to Segunda División club Racing de Santander, in a season-long loan deal.[5] Roughly a year later he moved to Cádiz CF, also in a temporary deal.[6]

On 19 July 2016, after scoring a career-best nine goals in the Yellow Submarine's promotion campaign, he signed a permanent four-year deal after rescinding with Granada.[7]
