Club career
Born in São João del Rei, Minas Gerais, Galhardo joined Bangu's youth setup in 2008 after turning down a job offer in Petrobras.[1] He made his debut as a senior on 20 January 2010, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–3 Campeonato Carioca away loss against Fluminense.[2]
Galhardo scored his first senior goal on 27 February 2010, netting the second in a 3–0 win at Resende.[3] He finished the tournament with 15 appearances, as his side achieved a mid-table position.
After impressing in 2011 Campeonato Carioca, Galhardo joined Brasileirão Série A club Botafogo on 14 April 2011, on loan until December.[4] He made his debut in the category on 22 May, starting in a 0–1 away loss against Palmeiras.[5]
On 19 January 2012, Galhardo was loaned to Comercial (Ribeirão Preto) until May.[6] Rarely used by the club, he returned to Bangu and served subsequent loans at América (Natal)[7] and Remo.[8]
After having unpaid wages, Galhardo left Remo in June 2013 and returned to Bangu. The following year he represented Boa,[9] Cametá[10] and Brasiliense,[11] appearing sparingly in all of them.
On 3 January 2015 Galhardo agreed to a deal at Madureira,[12] and scored five goals and amassed seven assists in 14 matches during the year's Carioca. On 23 April he returned the top tier, signing a three-year deal with Coritiba.[13]
Galhardo scored his first goal in the main category on 16 May 2015, netting the first in a 2–0 home win against Grêmio.[14] He contributed with 25 appearances, as his side narrowly avoided relegation.
On 20 January 2016, Galhardo was loaned to Red Bull Brasil until the end of the 2016 Campeonato Paulista.[15]
On 6 January 2017, Galhardo was loaned to Albirex Niigata until the end of the 2017 season, yet was forced to return to Brazil due to frequent arguing with his teammates - mainly to do with his irritation over the team's poor performances (Albirex having been bottom of the league table at the time). [16]
[17]In April 2019, he joined Ceará.
[18]On January 8 2020, he signed a one year contract with Internacional. Pelo Inter ele teve sua melhor fase da carreira, até então marcando 15 gols no Campeonato Brasileiro Série A sendo destaque do time e eleito melhor jogador do campeonato no mês de agosto de 2020.
Personal life
Galhardo's younger brother, Gabriel, is also a footballer and a midfielder. Both were groomed at Bangu, and played together in 2012.[19]
