Club career

Born in Pamplona, Navarre, Galán made his professional – and La Liga – debut for hometown's CA Osasuna on 23 September 2009, in a game at Real Valladolid: replacing Carlos Aranda in the 70th minute, he scored the 2–1 winner in the next.[1] During the season he appeared in a further 19 league matches, all as a substitute.

In mid-July 2010, a season-loan deal was arranged for Galán, as he joined Segunda División club SD Huesca.[2] He appeared in less than one third of the league contests for the Aragonese during his spell, also failing to find the net in just 479 minutes of play.[3]

On 12 August 2011, Galán signed for Scottish Premier League side Kilmarnock on loan.[4] He made his debut as a substitute two days later, in a 4–1 home victory against Hibernian.[5]

In late January 2012, after only five official appearances for the Killie, Galán returned to his country and joined, still owned by Osasuna, Real Unión in Segunda División B.[6] He continued competing in the third level in the following years, representing Levante UD B[7] and again Unión.[8]
