Career

Talleres were García's opening senior club, he began his career with the Córdoba team in 1995 and remained for two years before moving from Primera B Nacional to the Argentine Primera División with Independiente.[1] Five appearances followed, before he completed a return to Talleres where he went on to win the 1999 Copa CONMEBOL; beating CSA in the final over two legs.[1] In 2000, García made a move to Mexican football by joining Toros Neza.[1] One goal across fifteen matches followed.[1] Categoría Primera A side América de Cali signed García ahead of the 2001 season, which they won though he played just thrice.[1]

García went back to Argentina to have subsequent spells with Argentinos Juniors, Nueva Chicago and Quilmes in the Primera División, prior to resigning with Talleres for a third time in 2005; he took his appearance tally for them to eighty-five.[1] In the succeeding year, García rejoined another ex-club in Nueva Chicago.[1] 2006 saw Jorge Wilstermann of the Bolivian Primera División become García's third and final move abroad.[1] He participated in eight matches as they won the 2006 title.[1] Alumni and Tiro Federal were the last clubs of García's career, which saw him make a total of thirty-seven appearances and score two goals before retiring.[1]

After retirement, García became a folklore singer and got into real estate in the Totoral Department area.[3]
