Rubén García Rey (born 16 January 1986) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a right-back.
Born in Málaga, Andalusia, García only played lower league football in his country. From 2007 to 2010 he competed in the Segunda División B in representation of Real Valladolid Promesas and Lucena CF,[1] making no league appearances for the latter club in the last season.
In the summer of 2012, after spending one year with CD Alhaurino of Tercera División and another with Juventud de Torremolinos CF in the regional championships, García signed for Scottish First Division side Cowdenbeath after his agent sent YouTube videos to manager Colin Cameron, and the player impressed in a subsequent trial.[2] Released after only a few months, he returned to Spanish amateur football.
