Enrique García Martínez

Middlesbrough On 11 July 2014, García joined English Championship side Middlesbrough, in a €3.5 million (£2.7 million) deal; he was signed by compatriot Aitor Karanka, who had worked with him at international youth level. He found the net again in his second appearance three days later, replacing Adam Reach early into the second half of a Football League Cup tie at Oldham Athletic and closing the 3–0 victory.

García came on for Jelle Vossen in the 86th minute of the FA Cup fourth round match at reigning Premier League champions Manchester City on 24 January 2015, and scored the second goal of a 2–0 win. On 10 February, he netted an 88th-minute winner in a 2–1 away defeat of Blackpool, a result which moved his team above AFC Bournemouth into first place.

García scored in a 3–0 win over Brentford on 15 May 2015, which advanced the hosts to the play-off final 5–1 on aggregate. He was a substitute in the decisive match, a 2–0 loss to Norwich City at Wembley Stadium.

On 15 August 2015, García scored his first two-goal haul for Middlesbrough, a first-half double in a 3–0 home win against Bolton Wanderers. He scored and assisted Christian Stuani on 19 December in a 3–0 victory at Brighton & Hove Albion, which ended the hosts' unbeaten season and put the opposition on top of the league table.

Eibar The signings of strikers David Nugent and Jordan Rhodes at Middlesbrough led to speculation about García's future at the club, creating extra pressure for him to be included in the starting line-up. After interest from Leeds United and Wolverhampton Wanderers, he left and on 2 February 2016 signed for SD Eibar in the top flight, but a late registration meant that he would be ineligible to play until the following season.

García finally made his debut for the Basques on 19 August 2016, starting in a 2–1 away loss against Deportivo de La Coruña. He scored seven goals in his debut campaign – nine in all competitions – helping to a tenth-place finish.

On 1 May 2021, García scored all of his side's goals in the 3–0 home victory over Deportivo Alavés. He totalled 12 for the season, in an eventual relegation as last.

Osasuna García continued in the Spanish top tier in the 2021 off-season, with the free agent joining CA Osasuna on a three-year contract with a €15 million buyout clause. He scored his first goal for his new team on 29 August, from the penalty spot in a 3–2 win at Cádiz CF.

García was top scorer in the 2022–23 edition of the Copa del Rey, finding the net five times in the early rounds during their run to the final.

Alavés On 13 August 2023, García signed a two-year deal with Alavés, newly-promoted to the top tier. He scored just three goals in his debut campaign. He totalled 13 goals for the season, best in the squad, but departed the club on 20 June 2025.

Espanyol Hours after leaving Alavés, García moved to RCD Espanyol on a two-year contract.

International career García was called up to the Spain under-20 team in June 2009, for that year's Mediterranean Games. He was also in Luis Milla's list for the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
