Alvaro Garcia

Relentless at the breakdown and uncompromising in defence, Álvaro García is a flanker who has built his career on energy and graft. Born on 22 August 2003, the Spain international brings a high work rate and defensive grit to the Stade Français pack. García has been capped by Spain, with representing his national team standing as a career highlight, and he previously gained valuable experience in the French game with CA Brive in the Top 14. At Stade Français his role is that of a breakdown specialist and a tireless defender, the kind of forward who competes for turnovers, makes his tackles and brings constant energy in the loose. His willingness to put his body on the line and his nose for disrupting opposition ball make him a valuable contributor in the forward effort. Still young and developing, García continues to add to his game in one of Europe's most demanding domestic competitions, where his physicality and appetite for the contest mark him out as an industrious operator in the back row.
