Early years

edit

Born in San Fernando, Cádiz, Andalusia, Germán started playing with UD San Fernando as a central midfielder, and made his senior debut with GE Bazán CF the following season. He first arrived in the Segunda División B in 2008 with CD San Fernando, on loan from Cádiz CF.[2]

Germán returned to the Estadio Ramón de Carranza in summer 2007, initially being assigned to the reserves in the Tercera División but moving to the first team in June 2010.[3] After making no league appearances during the first half of the 2010–11 campaign, he moved to San Fernando CD on 31 January 2011.[4] Always a starter, he helped the latter club win promotion to the third level in 2012, being converted to a central defender in the process.[5]

On 19 June 2014, after suffering relegation, Germán signed a one-year deal with UE Olot.[6] On 27 May 2015, he opted to not renew his contract at the division three side.[7]

Germán scored his first professional goal on 25 October 2015, a last-minute equaliser in a 2–2 home draw with CA Osasuna.[10]

Granada

edit

On 3 July 2017, Germán signed a two-year deal with Granada CF also of the second tier.[11] In 2018–19, he contributed 38 matches and one goal as they returned to La Liga after a two-year absence, and subsequently agreed to an extension until 30 June 2021.[12]

Germán's maiden appearance in the competition took place on 17 August 2019, when he played the entire 4–4 draw at Villarreal CF.[13] He scored his first goal on 15 September, opening a 2–0 away win over RC Celta de Vigo seconds before half-time.[14]

Germán played 13 games in the 2020–21 edition of the UEFA Europa League, and his side reached the quarter-finals in their first-ever participation in Europe.[15]

Racing Santander

edit

On 4 August 2022, free agent Germán joined second-tier Racing de Santander on a two-year contract.[16] He scored his first goal the following 19 March, a 98th-minute header in a 1–1 away draw against CD Lugo.[17]
