Born in San Isidro, Galmarini started his career with Tigre in 2002 while the club were playing in the regionalised 3rd division of Argentine football (Primera B Metropolitana).

During the opening round of fixtures for the Apertura 2007 Galmarini scored Tigre's first goal in the Primera for 27 years in a 0–1 away win against Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata. Tigre went on to finish in 2nd place, the highest league finish in the club's history, with Galmarini featuring in all 19 games.

At the end of Clausura 2008 Galmarini joined Argentine giants River Plate. However, he returned to Tigre for the 2010–11 Argentine Primera División season.[1]
