Youth cup winner with the star studded West Ham team of 1999. Can play across midfield or as a centre forward
Playing alongside the likes of Joe Cole and Michael Carrick, Garcia helped West Ham win the FA Youth Cup in 1999 and went on to make 22 senior appearances for the Hammers before moving to Colchester in September 2004, via an injury-restricted loan spell at Leyton Orient.
Used mainly on the right wing, he was instrumental in Colchester’s rise from League One also-rans to Championship promotion-chasers, before joining Hull in July 2007 where has continued to realise his early potential.
An Australia international at youth and U23 levels, he is comfortable right across midfield or as a centre-forward.
