Diego Alejandro Galeano (born 24 February 1986) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a winger for Club Atlético Los Andes.[3]

Career

Galeano started his career in Mar del Plata with Banfield, netting three goals in as many games which secured a move to Primera División side Banfield of Buenos Aires.[1] He featured three times in the top-flight, before departing in June 2010 to Cypriot First Division side Doxa Katokopias.[1][3] He made his debut on 29 August as Doxa lost 4–0 to Apollon Limassol, which was the first of twenty-one league matches for them.[3] He also scored four goals in Cyprus' top division, scoring against Anorthosis Famagusta on 13 February before notching a brace over APOP Kinyras Peyias; he had also scored in the Cypriot Cup versus AEK Larnaca in January.[3]

Midway through 2011, Galeano returned to Argentina with Torneo Argentino B's Sportivo Patria.[1] One goal in three fixtures followed.[1] Months later, Galeano sealed a move across the league to Alvarado.[3][4] He left ahead of 2012–13, subsequently signing for Torneo Argentino A team Unión Mar del Plata.[3] He netted four goals in one season with the club, two of which came against Guillermo Brown while one came versus ex-club Alvarado.[3] After spending 2013–14 with Santamarina, where he won the league title, Galeano went to Primera B Metropolitana's Los Andes.[3][5][6] He again won promotion, as Los Andes rose to Primera B Nacional.[3][7]

An eleventh-place finish occurred in tier two with Los Andes, which preceded Galeano signing for Boca Unidos on 3 February 2016.[3][8][9] He remained for two seasons, with nineteen appearances arriving.[3] Barracas Central became Galeano's tenth senior team in January 2017.[3] He scored eight goals in the 2017–18 Primera B Metropolitana as they reached the play-offs, though would miss out after losing in the first round to Defensores de Belgrano.[3] However, in 2018–19, Barracas Central would win promotion as they won tier three's league title for the first time.[3]
