 Hakbumson finally recruited Gallego who played in Gangwon Province
Jeju recruited Brazilian 'Speedstar'Galego (27) to reinforce its power. My uniform number is 73.

Gallego made his professional debut in Brazil in 2017 and played for Moreyrense in Portugal's first division from 2020 to 2022. He transferred to Gangwon FC on loan in July 2022 and contributed to Gangwon FC's advance to Final A by scoring three goals in a total of 14 games. Thanks to that performance, he completely transferred to Gangwon FC after the end of the season and has played a total of 51 games (five goals) in the K League 1 stage so far.

Gallego is a versatile offensive resource that can play not only wing forward but also offensive midfielder. He has excellent dribbling and individual skills, and he also has excellent shooting and cross quality using his main left foot. In particular, the explosive speed is excellent. The last K-League of the 2023 season (October-December) 'Activity (physical) data ranked first in the top speed.

When his teammate Gabriel intercepted the opponent's ball in the 39th minute of the second half against Suwon FC in the 37th round of the K League 1 last season, Gallego sprinted from the left side to see the timing of the attack and ranked first with a maximum speed of 36.21km/h in the process. The impact was so great that the federation nicknamed 'Speedstar' at the time.

Gallego's strengths also fit coach Kim Hak-beom's soccer style, which prefers constant pressure and rapid transition to offense and defense based on his wide range of activities. In particular, he is also the right person to increase Jeju's left foot kick option along with Japan's 'left foot technique'Kaina, who was recently recruited through the Asian quarter system.

Hakbumson, who boasted good harmony with left-footed techniques such as Thiago in Seongnam and Lee Dong-kyung in the Olympic team, is dreaming of a great rebound in the second half with Gallego.

Gallego said "I'm really happy to join a good team called Jeju. In Jeju, Brazilian players such as Hayes, Yuri Jonathan, and Talro are performing well. I will also do my best in every game and prove why Jeju recruited me. I want to quickly blend into the team and create new synergy"How do you feel about joining the team?"
