Early years and Porto

Born in Cúa, Miranda, García spent three years in the Venezuelan Primera División with Real Esppor, being at the time the youngest player to appear for them in the competition. [2] In early 2013, he signed with Portuguese club FC Porto to complete his development. [3] He mas mainly registered with the latter's reserves during his tenure, notably contributing 41 matches in the 2015–16 season as they won the LigaPro championship, being however ineligible for promotion. [4]

García made his debut for Porto's first team on 13 April 2014, playing the full 90 minutes in a 3–1 Primeira Liga away win against S.C. Braga. [5] [6] For the 2016–17 campaign he was loaned to fellow top-flight side C.D. Nacional, [7] featuring regularly but suffering relegation. [8] [9]

Vitória Guimarães

On 28 August 2017, García joined Vitória S.C. on a four-year contract. [10] He played 13 matches in his first season in Minho, helping to a ninth-place finish.

Alcorcón

On 17 September 2020, García signed a two-year deal with AD Alcorcón of the Spanish Segunda División. [12] He totalled 42 games during his spell, [13] being relegated in 2022. [14]

Moreirense

García returned to Portugal in August 2022, on a one-year contract at recently-relegated club Moreirense FC. [15] He featured rarely for the second-division champions, mainly due to injury. [16] [17]

Later career

On 8 August 2023, Primera Federación side Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa announced the free signing of García on a one-year contract, with an option for a further season. [18]

International career
