## Career

[edit]

Garay's senior career started with Primera B Metropolitana team Estudiantes at the age of eighteen.[4] He made his debut on 30 June 2017 during a league draw away from home against Colegiales, having replaced Federico Pellegrino off the bench with eighteen minutes remaining.[4] His first start came in the succeeding season, 2017–18, in a goalless home draw with Acassuso on 5 December, while his first senior goal occurred in the final game of the campaign against UAI Urquiza on 15 May 2018.[4] 2018–19 saw Estudiantes win promotion to Primera B Nacional, with Garay scoring once across twenty-four fixtures for the club.[4]

Garay scored twice, versus Barracas Central and Temperley respectively, in his first six appearances at second tier level.[4] After twenty-five matches and one more goal across two seasons in Primera Nacional, Garay departed on loan in February 2021 to Primera División side Patronato; penning terms until the succeeding December.[5][6][7] Before leaving, the midfielder renewed his contract until the end of 2023 with El Pincha.[8] He debuted in a 1–0 defeat away to Defensa y Justicia on 26 February.[4]

On 13 January 2023, Garay signed permanently for Tigre.[9]
