García made his senior debut with the B-team on 10 September 2022, starting in a 1–0 home loss against Torrent CF, and scored his first goal on 6 November by netting the winner in a 1–0 home success over Elche CF Ilicitano.[2] He made his first team debut the following 3 January, coming on as a late substitute for Álex Cantero in a 3–2 home win over Getafe CF, for the season's Copa del Rey.[3][4]

On 22 July 2023, García renewed his contract with Levante for another year, with an option for a further three seasons.[5] He suffered an injury in September which sidelined him for three months,[6] before establishing himself as a right-back.[7]

García scored his first professional goal on 26 May 2024, netting the opener in a 2–2 home draw against AD Alcorcón.
