Galloway played as a defender but was equally comfortable playing in midfield and was often utilised in this position whilst at Celtic. Born in England, Galloway represented Scotland once in an international match.
Playing career Galloway was born in Oswestry on 30 May 1965. He started his career with Berwick Rangers. After spells at Mansfield Town and Halifax Town, he moved to Heart of Midlothian (Hearts) in the autumn of 1987.

Celtic manager Billy McNeill signed Galloway in 1989. He made his competitive debut in a 3–1 win at old club Hearts on 12 August. He would be a regular feature in that first year with the club. Despite a weight problem and some inconsistent performances which saw him in and out of the team, he earned a Scotland cap in October 1991.
