Thiago Galhardo do Nascimento Rocha (born 20 July 1989), known as Thiago Galhardo or simply Galhardo, is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Ponte Preta as an attacking midfielder.

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 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-SP until May.[6] Rarely used by the club, he returned to Bangu and served subsequent loans at América-RN[7] and Remo.[8]

After having unpaid wages, Galhardo left Remo in June 2013 and returned to Bangu. The following year he represented Boa Esporte,[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 2016 Campeonato Paulista.[15]

Personal life

Galhardo's younger brother, Gabriel, is also a footballer and a midfielder. Both were groomed at Bangu, and played together in 2012.[16]
