He spent the vast majority of his professional career with Eibar since joining in 2012 (initially on loan), representing the club in all three major levels of Spanish football and playing 224 competitive matches.

García signed with Real Sociedad in July 2012, being immediately loaned back to the third tier to play for SD Eibar.
