On 27 July 2020, García signed for Deportivo Alavés and was initially assigned to the reserves in division three.[6] He made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 13 September, coming on as a late substitute for Pere Pons in a 0–1 home loss against Real Betis.[7]

On 30 June 2021, García signed a three-year deal with Albacete Balompié, freshly relegated to Primera División RFEF.[8] After helping in the club's promotion back to Segunda División, he was loaned to third tier side CE Sabadell FC on 1 September 2022.[9]

On 17 July 2023, García terminated his contract with Alba.[10]
