Nahikari García Pérez (born 10 March 1997) is a Spanish professional football forward currently playing for Real Sociedad in the Spanish 1st Division. She is also the current captain of the Spain women's national under-19 football team.
García started playing football at the age of nine in San Sebastián when she joined a sports programme with local side Urnieta. The programme wasn't solely football based, however, which prompted to her to later leave to sign for Añorga KKE with whom she spent seven years plying her trade.
In the 2014–15 winter transfer market Real Sociedad completed the signing of García, who was only sixteen at the time, from Añorga. On 5 January, just days after signing for Sociedad, she was handed her Primera División debut by manager Unai Gazpio against Levante. She ended the campaign with 10 goals to her name for the season.
In the following season García recorded a record-breaking tally of 16 goals for the season, the most ever in a single season by a Real Sociedad player. Her seasonal haul included a notable goal against rivals Athletic and a hat-trick against Levante during December which propelled Txuri-urdin to a fifth-placed finish in the Primera División, the club's highest placing since formation in 2004. Real Sociedad also made the quarter-finals of the Copa de la Reina where they were eliminated 5–1 by eventual runners-up Barcelona, with García netting the only goal of the match for her club. García's form throughout the season saw her nominated for the Primera División forward of the Season award.
