Football career

A product of Athletic Bilbao's famed youth academy, Lezama, García made his first-team debut on 30 August 2003 in a 0–1 La Liga home loss against FC Barcelona. As the Basque side eventually finished fifth and qualified for the UEFA Cup, most of his appearances were made from the bench; he scored his first goal as a professional in a rare start, netting the game's only at Villarreal CF on 29 February 2004.

García featured even less in the 2004–05 season, being released subsequently and spending two years in the second division, with CD Castellón and Ciudad de Murcia. He did not finish 2006–07 in Spain, having a six-month spell with Aris Thessaloniki FC.

García then returned to his country and played in the third level, with SE Eivissa-Ibiza, his solid performances earning him a return to division two where he was very important in SD Huesca's retaining of its league status, 57 years after the last visit.

In the following years, García resumed his career in the third tier, returning to the second division for the 2011–12 campaign with CD Guadalajara.
