Football career
Galloway is said to have kicked off his career at Milton Keynes Dons where he proved to be a very solid defender. He became the youngest player in the history of Milton Keynes Football Club to feature for the first team when he came on as a substitute against Nantwich Town in an FA Cup first round tie on 12 November 2011 when he was a 15 year old.[2] It was while at Milton Keynes Dons that he was spotted by Everton Football Club in 2014 and was immediately signed for five years for an undisclosed fee.[3] There were several reports which spoke glowingly about the defensive capabilities of Galloway such that he was likened to former Manchester United Captain Rio Ferdinand.[3] Brendan had the choice of playing for Zimbabwe or Britain but chose the latter and got his first cap for Britain in 2012 in the Nordic Tournament. He also featured for England in the UEFA 2014 Under-19 Championship qualifying campaign.[2]
