Club career
[edit]Having played for AFC Wimbledon since age ten,[2] Gallagher made his Football league début for AFC Wimbledon on 14 April 2015, coming on as a late substitute during the 1–1 away draw with Plymouth Argyle.[3] Gallagher signed his first professional contract with AFC Wimbledon in February 2015.[2]
On 4 August 2016, Gallagher joined Isthmian League side and neighbours, Kingstonian on a one-month loan.[4] Just under a week later, he made his debut during a 1–0 defeat to Harlow Town, playing the full 90 minutes.[5] On 1 September 2016, his loan was extended for a further month.[6] During this following month, Gallagher went onto feature four more times before returning to Wimbledon in October.
Following his release from Wimbledon, Gallagher opted to return to the Isthmian League, to join Leatherhead in July 2017.[7] Gallagher joined Leatherhead's neighbours Dorking Wanderers in August 2019.[8]
After the signing of Tony Craig from Crawley Town, Gallagher moved into a defensive midfielder role and quickly found himself as one of the first names on the team sheet. He made the England C provisional squad as well as also winning the Manager's Player of the Year for the 2022–23 season.[citation needed]
Personal life
[edit]Dan is the younger brother of twins; Jake and Josh, who play for and manage Isthmian South Central side Raynes Park Vale respectively, and the older brother of Chelsea and England footballer, Conor.[9]
