Milton Keynes Dons (loan)

On 29 July 2015, Gallagher joined Championship side Milton Keynes Dons on a season-long loan.[10][11] Gallagher made his debut for MK Dons in a 4–1 win away to Rotherham United on 8 August 2015 providing an assist within four minutes.[citation needed]

He was recalled by Southampton on 6 January 2016.[12]
