Club career

Born in Seville, Andalusia, Gallardo joined Sevilla FC's youth system at the age of 12. He made his senior debut with their reserves, but totalled only 28 Segunda División B games in his first three seasons, achieving promotion in 2007.[1]

Gallardo first appeared in the Segunda División on 30 September 2007, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 away win against SD Eibar.[2] He was first choice in that and the following seasons, with the team being relegated in the latter.[1]

On 6 July 2009, free agent Gallardo signed a two-year contract with neighbouring Recreativo de Huelva also in the second tier.[3] He played just 11 competitive matches during his stint.[4]

Subsequently, Gallardo plied his trade in division three, with Deportivo Alavés (where he suffered a serious hip injury),[5][6] CF Badalona and Burgos CF.[7] On 30 January 2015, after an unassuming spell in the Indian Super League with Sporting Clube de Goa, he returned to his country and its third division, with Arroyo CP.[8]

Gallardo spent the 2015–16 campaign in the Hong Kong Premier League, with Metro Gallery FC. In summer 2016 he returned to the Indian top flight, joining three compatriots (including manager José Francisco Molina) at Atlético de Kolkata.[9]

On 26 July 2017, Dreams Sports Club confirmed that they had signed Gallardo.[10] In May 2019, he left the club.[11]
