Rubén García Santos (born 14 July 1993) is a Spanish footballer who plays for CA Osasuna as a left winger.

Club career

Born in Valencia, Valencian Community, García graduated from local Levante UD's youth system, making his senior debut with the reserves in Tercera División. In 2011, he was linked with a move back to Valencia CF,[1] but a deal could not be reached; on 31 January of the following year, he signed a professional contract running until 2016.[2]

On 2 September 2012, García made his first La Liga appearance, coming on as a substitute for Nabil El Zhar in a 3–2 home win over RCD Espanyol.[3] On 21 October, in the same competition, he provided an assist to Míchel for the game's only goal against Getafe CF.[4]

García scored his first top level goal on 9 December 2012, in a 4–0 home win against RCD Mallorca.[5] In January of the following year, he was permanently promoted to the first team, being assigned the number 11.

On 28 July 2017, after contributing with 17 scoreless appearances to a promotion to the top flight, García was loaned to Segunda División club Sporting de Gijón for one year.[6][7] On 20 August of the following year, he agreed to a three-year contract with fellow league side CA Osasuna on a free transfer – Levante also retained 50% of the player's federative rights.[8]

International career

On 19 January 2012, García was called to train with the Spain under-19 side.[9]
