Miguel Pallardó González (born 5 September 1986) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Scottish club Heart of Midlothian as a defensive midfielder.

He played 68 La Liga games during seven seasons, representing in the competition Valencia, Getafe and Levante. In 2014, he signed with Hearts.

Club career

Valencia

Born in Alaquàs, Valencian Community, Pallardó played a similar role to David Albelda as a holding midfielder. He was promoted from Valencia CF's youth academy for 2006–07, and appeared in ten La Liga games during the season after having appeared once in 2004–05 (which was his first division debut, playing ten minutes in a 2–2 draw at RCD Espanyol on 15 May 2005).[1]

Pallardó spent the entire 2005–06 campaign with the reserves, in Tercera División.

Getafe / Levante

In July 2007, Pallardó was loaned for the season's duration to Madrid club Getafe CF,[2] playing in 14 top level matches in his first year. In August 2008, already owned by the latter, he was loaned to freshly-relegated to the second level side Levante UD for the 2008–09 campaign, thus returning to his native region.[3] He scored his first goal as a senior on 8 November, helping to a 2–1 home win against CD Tenerife.[4]

After a successful season a further season-long loan was agreed,[5] and Pallardó was an even more important first-team member – 35 games played, 2,662 minutes[6]– as the club returned to the top division after a two-year absence.

He was again regularly used in 2010–11, and Levante finally maintained its league status. On 17 June 2011 he finally cut ties with Getafe and signed a permanent three-year deal, for €200.000.[7] During his second spell at the Estadi Ciutat de València, Pallardó failed to make his breakthrough in the starting XI, also dealing with injury problems.[8] On 31 January 2013 he was loaned to UD Almería in level two, until June.[9][10]

Hearts

In August 2014 Pallardó underwent a trial with FC Sochaux-Montbéliard of France, but ultimately no permanent deal was reached between both parties. On 11 September, he signed a one-year contract with Scotland's Heart of Midlothian.[11] Two days later he made the squad for the first time, remaining an unused substitute in a goalless draw away to Dumbarton.[12]

Pallardó made his competitive debut for his new club on 4 October 2014, replacing Prince Buaben for the last 12 minutes of a 3–0 win at Queen of the South.[13] He scored his first goal on 31 January of the following year, opening a 4–1 away success over Alloa Athletic after five minutes.[14]

On 29 May 2015, after contributing to his team's promotion with 23 appearances, Pallardó extended his stay at Hearts for a further season.[15]

International career

Pallardó was first called into the Spain under-21 team in 2007, playing twice during that year.[16] He also represented the nation at two other youth levels.
