Early life

In his youth, Gander played youth soccer with Kitchener SC,[1] later joining the Toronto FC Academy.[2]

In 2019, Gander began attending Missouri State University, where he joined the men's soccer team,[2] although he redshirted the 2019-20 Missouri Valley Conference season.^{[citation needed]}

In 2020, Gander transferred to the University of Guelph joining the men's soccer team, although his inaugural season was delayed until the 2021-22 school year, due to the season being cancelled by the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] He scored his first goal on October 22, against the Brock Badgers.[4] In the 2021–22 season, he won the OUA title.[2]

Club career

In 2017 and 2018, he played with Toronto FC III in League1 Ontario.[5][6]

In 2020, he trained with Toronto Skillz FC.[7]

In 2021, he played with Guelph United F.C.[8]

At the 2022 CPL-U Sports Draft, Gander was selected in the second round (eleventh overall) by HFX Wanderers FC.[9] In April 2022, he signed a developmental contract with the Wanderers, which allows him to maintain his university eligibility.[10] He made his debut on April 16, coming on as a substitute against Atlético Ottawa.[11] In mid-August, as part of his developmental contract, he departed the team to return to play for his university.[12]
