Club career

[edit]

García started his career with Atlético Marte of the Salvadoran Primera División.[1][2] He participated in league fixtures for the club from 2010, making 110 appearances from the 2011–12 season up until 2015–16 while also netting two goals, against FAS in 2013 and Águila in 2014, respectively.[1][2] Atlético Marte were relegated to Segunda División de El Salvador at the conclusion of 2015–16, though García was released halfway through in January 2016 after disciplinary issues.[3] He subsequently joined Sonsonate but was unable to feature because of contractual disagreements between the two clubs.[4][5]

In 2019, García headed to the United States with National Premier Soccer League side El Farolito.[1] He appeared nine times in the Golden Gate Conference while also appearing in the U.S. Open Cup in games against Academica SC and Fresno FC.[1]

International career

García represented El Salvador at U23 and senior level.[1][2] He won one cap for the former, it arrived in a 2012 CONCACAF Men's Pre-Olympic Tournament qualifier against Panama.[1] In October 2014, García was called up to Albert Roca's first-team squad for friendlies with Colombia and Ecuador in the United States.[1] He was substituted on in place of Alexander Mendoza during the match with Colombia at Red Bull Arena.[1] He won his second cap a month later versus Panama at the Estadio Cuscatlán.[2]
