Estoril Praia
Garza spent several years with Sporting Clube de Portugal's under-19 team, but he was not offered a contract with the senior squad. As a result, he moved to Estoril Praia on a two-year contract in August 2010.
Club Tijuana
Garza signed with Mexican Primera División side Club Tijuana on December 21, 2011. Garza made his debut coming in as a sub in minute 73 for José Sand against Monarcas Morelia in a 1–1 tied game. He scored the first goal of his career for the club on October 13, 2012 in a 2–2 draw at Santos Laguna.
Atlanta United
In December 2016 it was announced that Garza had signed a one-year loan deal with newly formed side Atlanta United for the 2017 season. Atlanta acquired Garza's MLS right from Columbus Crew SC in exchange for a second-round pick in the 2018 MLS SuperDraft.
International career
Garza was announced as part of the United States senior squad for a friendly against the Czech Republic on September 3, 2014.

He was capped-tied to the U.S. national team after his first competitive match in the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup against Haiti, while starting and playing 67 minutes. But after the group stage he was traded out of the gold cup roster for DaMarcus Beasley as each team could make 6 changes if they advanced to the knockout round.
