Biography

Not to be confused with the jazz guitarist more commonly credited as Dick Garcia, this artist has been involved in studio sessions since the '80s. Richard Garcia's arsenal of percussion includes bongos, maracas, bata drums, kettle drums, and a little triangle utilized to wake singer Vikki Carr up from her afternoon nap. In Latin bands Garcia can also be coaxed into giving up some background vocals. ~ Eugene Chadbourne, All Music Guide

Club career

West Ham United

Garcia was a product of the West Ham United youth academy and was a member of the team that won the FA Youth Cup Final in 1999, alongside Joe Cole and Michael Carrick[1] who went on to become established Premiership and England players. He signed for West Ham as a trainee in August 1999[2] and went out to Leyton Orient on loan in August 2000,[3] making 21 appearances in League and Cup competitions and scoring four goals.[2] Ligament damage to his knee ended his season and he returned to West Ham United in November 2000.[4] He made his first team debut for West Ham United in a League Cup match against Reading in September 2001, but failed to gain a regular place in the team, making only 22 appearances in three years, 18 of which were as substitute.[2]

Colchester United

Garcia signed for Colchester in September 2004 for an undisclosed fee[5] and made his debut in the same month against Swindon Town.[2] He went on to make 30 appearances in the 2004-05 season, scoring six goals.[2] The following season Garcia played an important part in helping the club to second place in League One and promotion to the Championship,[6] and to the fifth-round of the FA Cup where they were beaten by Chelsea, although Colchester were at one point winning the match after Garcia's cross was put into his own net by Ricardo Carvalho.[7] Garcia's season was cut short by a knee injury in March 2006, which later required surgery.[8] Following the end of the season, Garcia signed a new contract with the club.[9] In August 2006, he scored Colchester's first goal of the 2006-07 season in the Championship on the opening game against Birmingham City,[10] going on to make 36 league appearances, scoring seven goals,[2] as Colchester pushed for a place in the end of season promotion playoff positions.[11] At the end of the 2006-07 season, Garcia had made a total of 96 appearances in all competitions for Colchester, scoring 21 goals.[2]

Hull City

Despite the offer of a new deal at Colchester, Garcia signed a three year contract with Hull City on 2 July 2007, on a free transfer under the Bosman ruling.[12]
