Career Summary

Option declined following 2016 season.

Garcia has incredible speed, but hasn’t been able to do a ton with it in his first three years in MLS. He mostly plays in wide positions in RSL’s 4-3-3 formation, and is at his best when he comes on as a late-game attacking sub and is able to use his speed against tiring defenders.

OUTSIDE MLS: Turned pro in 2011, when he signed with Deportes Quindio in Colombia’s first division. Made 47 appearances and 36 starts in two years with Quindio, scoring seven league goals for the club before moving to RSL ahead of the 2013 season.
