Sergio García de la Iglesia (born 8 August 1989) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a forward.
He began his career at Valladolid, playing mostly in their reserves in the Segunda División B. He also represented Salamanca, Zamora, Real Oviedo and Cartagena in the same level, winning the league title with Oviedo in 2014–15.
Born in Zamora, Castile and León, García was a Real Valladolid youth graduate. He made his senior debut with the reserves in the 2006–07 season, in Segunda División B.
On 4 April 2010, García made his first-team – and La Liga – debut, coming on as a 34th-minute substitute for Marquitos in a 0–2 home loss to Villarreal CF.[1] The campaign ended in relegation, and that would be his only competitive appearance with the main squad.
On 23 July 2010, García moved to Segunda División club UD Salamanca on a two-year deal.[2] He made his official debut on 29 August, replacing Kike for the last minutes of a 1–1 home draw against Córdoba CF.[3]
García scored his first professional goal in his only start of the season, opening the 2–2 home draw with CD Numancia on 4 June 2011.[4] He totalled only 124 minutes of action, again experiencing relegation.
In his second year with the Charros, García recorded eight goals in 31 third-tier matches, including a brace on 5 February 2012 in a 3–2 victory over Sestao River Club at the Helmántico Stadium.[5]
On 29 July 2012, free agent García moved to Zamora CF also from division three.[6] He netted eight times during his tenure, including a brace on 23 March 2013 to give his team a lead at Real Oviedo before falling 3–2 at the end.[7]
García joined Oviedo on 24 June 2013.[8] He scored six goals in his first season, including twice in the 4–1 win at UD Logroñés with only 30 minutes on the field.[9] In his second, his six successful strikes from 35 appearances helped the Asturians to secure promotion back to the second tier after thirteen years; highlights included another double in a 4–0 home rout of SD Amorebieta in the first round of the Copa del Rey, on 3 September 2014.[10]
García returned to the third division on 27 July 2015, signing a two-year contract at FC Cartagena.[11]
