Fran Garcia thrilled to make Real Madrid return: A joy and pride

Fran Garcia is delighted to have re-signed for Real Madrid.

The former Castilla fullback has returned this week from Rayo Vallecano.

Garcia said at today's presentation: "It is a joy to be able to return to my house, where I was able to take my first steps as a player. Thank you very much to the President and my family.

"It is a pride to be able to continue growing here and hopefully we can continue making history.

"Thank you all very much and, Madrid!"

Real president Florentino Perez also said at Garcia's presentation: "Today we welcome Fran García. Welcome to your Real Madrid. Today you return to your house. You came at the age of 14 with the illusion of playing with the first team. You played two seasons with Castilla and debuted with the first team on December 6, 2018 in Copa del Rey at the Bernabéu.

"You had the opportunity to grow outside of our club, in a friendly club like Rayo Vallecano and where you have become one of the best fullbacks in our country.

"Dear Fran, congratulations on reaching the first team, for being a player of the most beloved and admired club in the world. That carries a great responsibility. Good luck at this stage you've worked so hard for. I welcome you again."
