Eder García Altuna (born 4 January 2004) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a midfielder for Córdoba CF, on loan from Athletic Bilbao.

Career

Born in Errenteria, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, García joined Real Sociedad's youth sides in 2018, from Touring KE.[1] He made his senior debut with the C-team on 30 January 2022, coming on as a late substitute for Jon Gorrotxategi in a 1–0 Segunda Federación away loss to Sestao River Club.

García first appeared with the reserves on 8 October 2022, replacing Pablo Marín late into a 1–0 loss at CD Numancia. He subsequently became a regular starter for the Bs, and contributed with four goals in 39 appearances overall during the 2024–25 season as the club achieved promotion to Segunda División.[2]

On 5 July 2025, García moved to Athletic Bilbao on a free transfer, as his contract with Real Sociedad had expired, and was initially assigned to the B-side also in Primera Federación.[3] He made his first team – and La Liga – debut the following 20 February, replacing Unai Gómez in a 2–1 home win over Elche CF.[4][5][6]

On 8 July 2026, García was loaned to second division side Córdoba CF for one year.[7] On his club debut on 16 August, he scored his first professional goal, netting the equalizer in a 3–2 away loss to Burgos CF.[8]
