Football career[edit]

An unsuccessful Athletic Bilbao youth graduate, García played in his early years in his country for Zamudio SD, CD Alfaro and CD Logroñés, never in higher than Segunda División B. On 1 September 2008, he signed a one-year contract with League Two side Rotherham United.[1]

García made his official debut for his new club on 1 November 2008, against Wycombe Wanderers.[2] His next appearance came three days later in the Football League Trophy 2–0 win against Leicester City,[3] and he also featured in the FA Cup first-round tie against Aldershot Town, on the 8th.[4]

García made his second and last league appearance with the Millers on 15 November 2008, against Gillingham.[5] On 10 April of the following year he was told that he could leave the English club,[6] and he returned to Spain with CF Gandía, also in the third level.[7]

After 14 league appearances in 2010–11 (no goals), García moved down to Tercera División and joined SD Logroñés.
