Gallardo was acquired by Orlando City B on January 25, 2017 after previously spending time with Monterrey's youth team.[1][2] Gallardo was named to the USL League One All-League First Team.
On December 5, 2019, Gallardo was transferred to USL Championship club Real Monarchs for an undisclosed transfer fee.[3][4]
During the 2020 winter transfer window, Gallardo became a top target for multiple clubs in Mexico's top-flight. Eventually, Liga MX side Queretaro FC was able to secure the striker's signature on a multi-year contract. He is expected to make his debut during the Guardianes 2021 tournament.[5]
Born in the United States, Gallardo is of Mexican descent which makes him eligible to play for Mexico.[6]
