Pablo José Gallardo Zurera (born 19 February 1986) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Indian club Atlético de Kolkata as a central defender.
Football career
Born in Seville, Andalusia, Gallardo joined Sevilla FC's youth system at the age of 12. He made his senior debut with the reserves, but appeared in only 28 Segunda División B games in his first three seasons combined, achieving promotion in 2007.
Gallardo first appeared in Segunda División on 30 September 2007, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 away win against SD Eibar.[1] He was first-choice in that and the following seasons, with the team being relegated in the latter.
On 6 July 2009, free agent Gallardo signed a two-year contract with neighbouring Recreativo de Huelva also in the second level.[2] He played only 11 competitive matches during his stint.
Subsequently, Gallardo plied his trade in division three, with Deportivo Alavés (where he suffered a serious hip injury[3]),[4] CF Badalona and Burgos CF.[5] 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 tier, with Arroyo CP.[6]
Gallardo spent the 2015–16 campaign in the Hong Kong Premier League, with Dreams Metro Gallery FC. In the 2016 summer he returned to the Indian top flight, joining three compatriots (including manager José Francisco Molina) at Atlético de Kolkata.[7]
