Dani Garcia bids farewell to Athletic

Midfielder Dani Garcia, who finishes his contract on 30 June, will not remain at Athletic next season, leaving the club after six seasons, 194 games played and having won two titles.

Dani Garcia, who turns 34 on Friday, joined Athletic from SD Eibar in the summer of 2018 and has been a player who has enjoyed the confidence of coaches, although he has lost his prominent role in recent seasons.

Athletic stress that Garcia is "a club player who has always put the collective before the individual" and recall some words from the player in an appearance at Lezama when he lost his starting status: "I wouldn't forgive myself if they said I was a bad substitute," he said.

In his farewell, Athletic wish the Spanish centre-half "all the best of luck in his future professional career, while at the same time deeply thanking him for his dedication and commitment to defending the club's interests during all these years".
