Early career

Gale played football at St Leonard’s Boys School in the Barbados Secondary Schools Football League (BSSFL). He led them to a national title in 2014 at the under-14 level.[5] In 2016, he led the under-16 squad to a double (League and Knockout Cup).[6] He finished as the league's top scorer.

He repeated the feat in 2017, scoring three goals (including the game-winner in the final) in the U-16 Knockout Cup,[2][7] and leading the league with nine goals. That same year, he scored a brace on the final matchday of the U19 League to secure the league title.[8] Two weeks later, he helped St Leonard's secure the double by scoring once in the U19 Knockout Cup final.[9] For his performances, he was named BSSFL Player of the Week.[10]

At the club level, Gale played with the prestigious school, Pro Shottas United. He was named their Player of the Year in 2014.[11] In 2017, he led the under-15 squad to a first-place finish at the Guardian Group Youth Football Competition, capturing MVP honors as well.[12]

Professional career

In August 2018, Gale trialled with Hungarian club Budapest Honvéd, along with national team captain Rashad Jules.[13] In an interview with LoopTT, Jules called him "one of Barbados’ finest."[1] Gale officially signed with Budapest Honvéd in October and joined their youth team.[14]

In 2020 he signed his first professional contract, agreeing to a three-year deal with the 14-time champions.[15] Soon thereafter, he made his professional debut on 21 August, coming on for Barna Kesztyűs during a 3–1 league defeat to MTK.[16]

International career

Gale made his full debut for the senior national team in a 0–0 friendly draw against Bermuda on 25 March 2018, entering the match as a substitute for team captain Rashad Jules in the closing minutes. He was 15 years old.[17][18] He scored his maiden international goal on 5 September 2019 against Saint Martin, a curving free-kick in front of his hometown crowd in Bridgetown to secure a 4–0 victory during the 2019–20 CONCACAF Nations League C.[19]
