Playing career

Leeds United

A product of the Leeds United academy, Gardner signed his first professional contract with the club in 2006, then later penned a one-year extension on 19 June 2007. [3] Previously a regular in the Leeds United reserve side, Gardner was involved with the first-team during the 2007–08 pre-season, including playing in a home friendly against Wigan Athletic. Although naturally a right-winger, Gardner played as a right-back during his time at Elland Road. [4]

He made his full debut for Leeds on 14 August 2007 in a 1–0 win against Macclesfield Town in the League Cup.

Farsley Celtic (loan)

On 22 January 2008, Gardner signed a one-month loan deal with Conference National side Farsley Celtic, who are also based in Leeds. [5] Gardner returned from his loan spell in late February 2008. He made an impressive league debut for Leeds in the 2–1 win over Gillingham in May, a game which relegated the Gills. [6]

Farsley Celtic (2nd loan)

On 19 September 2008, Gardner re-joined Farsley Celtic, now in the Conference North, on a one-month loan, playing in three games. [7] [8]

Mansfield Town

On 30 January 2009, Gardner's contract at Leeds United was terminated by mutual consent. [9] Three days later, on 2 February 2009, Gardner signed for Conference National club Mansfield Town until the end of the 2008–09 season along with defender Gianluca Havern. [10] On 16 March 2009, Gardner signed an extension to his Mansfield contract, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2009–10 season. [11]

Coaching career

He currently coaches Leeds United's Under 21s Team, [12] having formally been a coach of the team's U18 side. [13] He was promoted to the U21 team first on a temporary basis when Michael Skubala was hired by Lincoln City in November 2023. [14] Gardner was given the U21 managerial role full time with former England international Stewart Downing joining as assistant manager in January 2024.
