Daniel 'Dani' García Carrillo (born 24 May 1990) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Super League Greece club Olympiacos.

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. In 2018, he signed with Athletic Bilbao,[2] where he made 195 appearances and won the 2023–24 Copa del Rey and the 2021 Supercopa de España.

Club career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Born in Zumarraga, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country,[2] García started his career in the cantera of Real Sociedad, and made his senior debut with Alicante CF B in 2009–10. He was promoted to the latter's first team later that year, but suffered relegation from Segunda División B in his second season.[3]

On 24 June 2011, García joined Getafe CF B in the same league.[4]

Eibar

[edit]

García signed with Real Sociedad in July 2012, being immediately loaned back to the third tier to play for SD Eibar.[5] He finished his debut campaign with 41 league appearances to his credit, helping the side to promote in the playoffs.[6][7]

In July 2013, García's loan to Eibar was renewed,[8] and he made his Segunda División debut on 18 August, starting in a 2–1 away win against Real Jaén.[9] On 26 June 2014 he signed permanently with the Armeros, promoted to La Liga for the first time ever.[6]

García made his debut in the Spanish top flight on 24 August 2014, starting in a 1–0 home victory over former employers Real Sociedad.[10] He scored his first goal in the competition on 19 September, opening the 2–0 away defeat of Elche CF.[11]

On 17 November 2015, García renewed his contract with Eibar until 2018.[12] In April 2017, having only missed nine league games since their promotion, he became the first player to reach the milestone of 100 top-division appearances for the club;[13] in October of the same year, he became only their twelfth player to play 200 matches.[14]

Athletic Bilbao

[edit]

On 3 June 2018, Athletic Bilbao announced that García had signed a four-year contract after the transfer was agreed in March.[15][14] Ander Capa made the same move; within weeks they were joined by another former teammate Yuri Berchiche, and before the end of the calendar year by the coach from their Eibar promotion seasons, Gaizka Garitano.[16] He totalled 32 appearances in his first season, his 29 in the league being all starts.[17]

García scored his first goal for Athletic – 203 games after his last career one – on 6 October 2023, in the 3–0 home defeat of UD Almería.[18] In May 2024, with 195 matches to his credit (two in the Copa del Rey which the Lions won), he announced he would be leaving.[19][20]

Olympiacos

[edit]

On 5 July 2024, upon the expiry of his contract, the 34-year-old García joined Super League Greece club Olympiacos FC, reuniting with his former Eibar manager José Luis Mendilibar.[21]
