García subsequently returned to Real Madrid in the summer of 1982, and was sold to Elche CF also of the second division. After achieving promotion in his second season, he returned to Murcia in 1985, going on to alternate between the top flight and the second tier during his spell.
García left the Estadio de La Condomina in 1991, and joined lower league side CD Roldán. He retired in 1992, aged 34.
