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]

He currently coaches Leeds United's Under 9's Team.[12]
