Career

edit

He played for Tiro Federal de Santa Ana and Deportivo Santa Ana in his youth career, before joining Unión Santa Fe in 2011.[3] Seven years later, Gallegos' senior career got underway with Unión Santa Fe.[2][4] After being promoted into the first-team midway through the 2017–18 Primera División season, Gallegos scored on his professional debut on 31 March 2018.[2][5] He featured for the final eleven minutes and netted the club's only goal in a 1–1 draw against San Martín.[2] Five further appearances followed in all competitions in season one.[2] In January 2019, Gallegos was loaned to Olimpo of Primera B Nacional.[2][6]

Gallegos scored four goals for Olimpo, including a brace over Mitre on 24 March 2019.[2] In the succeeding July, having returned to his parent club, Gallegos left on loan for a second time as he returned to the second tier with Estudiantes.[2] He made his debut on 24 August against San Martín, the same opponents he'd score his only Estudiantes goal for in February 2020.[2] Upon returning to Unión, the forward suffered a knee injury.[7] In February 2021, Gallegos joined Chacarita Juniors on a one-year loan deal.[8]

In February 2023, Gallegos joined Chilean club AC Barnechea on loan until the end of 2023.[9]
