Club career
editBorn in Gijón, Asturias, García joined Sporting de Gijón's Mareo in 2009, from Xeitosa CF.[2] He made his senior debut with the reserves on 20 December 2014 at the age of just 16, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–1 Segunda División B away loss against SD Compostela.[3]
Suárez was definitely promoted to the B-team in 2017, but spent most of the campaign sidelined due to a pubalgia.[4] He renewed his contract for a further two seasons on 28 June 2019,[5] and scored his first senior goal the following 2 February, netting the opener in a 1–3 loss at Coruxo FC.[6]
Suárez made his first team debut on 11 October 2020, replacing Jean-Sylvain Babin in a 0–1 away loss against Real Oviedo, which was the 109th Asturian derby.[7] The following 30 August, he moved to Primera División RFEF side SD Logroñés on a one-year loan deal.[8]
Personal life
editSuárez's father Juanma and his cousin Monchu were also footballers. The former was a midfielder, while the latter was a forward; both represented Sporting in the 1990s.[9]
