Club career

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, García made his senior debut with CF Rayo Majadahonda in 2004. He went on to represent UE Sant Andreu, Villarreal CF B, Águilas CF and UE Figueres, before joining Real Murcia in the summer of 2007.
Initially assigned to the reserves in Tercera División, García made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 17 May 2008, starting in a 3–5 home loss against FC Barcelona as his team was already relegated. It was his only appearance of the season.
García was promoted to the main squad in June 2008, but was mainly used as a backup to Juan Elía. On 1 September 2009, he moved to fellow Segunda División club Córdoba CF, being more regularly used.
On 18 June 2013, García terminated his contract with the Andalusians and signed for four years with Sporting de Gijón hours later. On 15 July 2016 he moved to Getafe CF in the second level, agreeing to a two-year deal as a free agent.
On 13 July 2017, after losing his first-choice status to Vicente Guaita, García was loaned to Rayo Vallecano for one year, with an obligatory buyout clause in case of promotion. The following 1 July, he signed a permanent three-year contract with the club.
