Gallego was loaned from Boston River to NorthEast United for the 2018–19 Indian Super League season. He scored a goal on his debut for NorthEast United against Goa.[1] Along with teammate Bartholomew Ogbeche, he formed one of the best attacking combinations for the club.[2] Gallego won the Fans' Player of the Month award for October in an online poll conducted by the league.[3]

On 21 September 2020, Gallego signed a contract extension, keeping him at NorthEast United until the end of the 2020–21 season.

On 29 September 2021, NorthEast United and Gallego have agreed a one-year contract extension for the upcoming season.[5] On November 29, Gallego was drafted in the starting XI for the first time this season against Chennaiyin FC. In this match, Gallego was involved in a clash with Chennaiyin FC’s Narayan Das. Gallego has his knee injured in the coming together and was carried out on a stretcher.[6] He ruled out from the season due to his knee injury. For the 2022–23 season NEUFC decided not to retain Gallego after the club wanted to create a new policy. Gallego is the most loved footballer of NEUFC.
