Born in Avilés, Asturias, García represented Sporting de Gijón and Real Avilés CF as a youth. On 28 August 2018, after finishing his formation, he was loaned to Tercera División side Marino de Luanco, for one year.[1]
García made his senior debut on 2 September 2018, coming on as a half-time substitute in a 0–4 away loss against CD Mosconia. He scored his first goal six days later by netting his team's second in a 3–0 home win over Caudal Deportivo, and finished the campaign with five goals in 38 appearances overall as his side narrowly missed out promotion in the play-offs.
Upon returning to the Rojiblancos, García renewed his contract until 2022 on 5 November 2019.[2] He made his first team debut on 17 December, replacing Carlos Carmona in a 1–2 away loss against Zamora CF, for the season's Copa del Rey.[3]
García's professional debut occurred on 12 November 2021, as he replaced fellow youth graduate Berto González in a 0–1 home loss against Real Sociedad B in the Segunda División championship.[4]
