Rafael Galhardo de Souza (born 30 October 1991), known as Rafael Galhardo or simply Galhardo, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a right back for Belgian club Anderlecht.

Club career

Born in Nova Friburgo, Rio de Janeiro, Galhardo was a Flamengo youth graduate. He made his first team – and Série A – debut on 20 August 2009, coming on as a second-half substitute for Jorbison in a 1–2 home loss against Cruzeiro.[1]

Galhardo was definitely promoted to the main 2010, spending the following years mainly as a backup to Léo Moura. He scored his first senior goal on 27 April 2011, netting the first in a 3–0 away win against Horizonte, for the year's Copa do Brasil.

On 18 May 2012 Galhardo moved to Santos, along with Flamengo teammate David Braz, in an exchange for Ibson.[2] He was mainly a second-choice to Bruno Peres during his first year.

On 20 December 2013, after being demoted to third-choice after the arrival of Cicinho, Galhardo was loaned to fellow league team Bahia for a year.[3] Rarely used during the first half of the campaign, he was only utilized in the last five league matches as a defensive midfielder.[4]

On 10 January 2015 Galhardo moved to Grêmio in a season-long loan deal.[5] He quickly established himself as an undisputed starter by appearing in 33 matches and scoring two goals, one of them against his former club Santos, and was also named the tournament's best right back by magazine Placar.[6]

Personal life

Galhardo's older brother, Marquinhos was also a footballer. A midfielder, he represented Friburguense before dying from a car accident in April 2013.[7]
