The Choco native began his career in the youth ranks of Deportes Quindio. In 2011, he made his debut in the Colombian First Division. In his first year with the club the young Colombian made 14 league appearances and scored two goals. In 2012, he made 33 league appearances for Quindio and scored five goals.

On 21 February 2013, García signed a contract with Real Salt Lake in Major League Soccer after being sold to the American side.[1] He scored his first goal for Salt Lake in an away game in Vancouver on 13 April.[2]

García was released by Salt Lake at the end of the 2016 season, but was selected by San Jose Earthquakes in the 2016 MLS Re-Entry Draft Stage 2.[3] He subsequently joined América de Cali in his home country.

On 24 January 2018, García was loaned to Spanish Segunda División side Real Oviedo for six months.[4]
