Kostadin Gadzhalov (Template:Lang-bg; born 20 June 1989) is a Bulgarian footballer who currently plays as a centre-back for Yantra Gabrovo. He was raised in Botev Plovdiv's youth teams.[3]

Career

Gadzhalov joined Botev Plovdiv in early age and progressed through the club's youth system. He made his first-team debut on 11 November 2007, when he came on as substitute to replace Todor Timonov in a 2–0 away league loss against CSKA Sofia.[4] Gadzhalov scored his first goal on 31 May 2009, in a 3–1 home win over Vihren Sandanski. In July 2009, he left the club due to financial reasons.

On 15 January 2010, after six months without playing, Gadzhalov signed with Lokomotiv Plovdiv on a two-and-a-half-year deal.[5] However, he ended up released in the following summer, and he joined Serbian side FK Borac Čačak in summer 2010[6] but failed to make an official appearance and shortly afterwards left the club and returned to Bulgaria.

On 3 January 2015, following a successful short trial period Gadzhalov signed for Scottish side Dundee as a free agent.[7] He made his debut for Dundee in the Scottish Premiership, playing the full 90 minutes in the 4–1 home win over Motherwell on 10 January.[8] Gadzhalov scored the first goal for Dundee in the "Get Doon Derby" against rivals Dundee United on 2 May 2016, an absolute thundertwat of a header into the top bins following a corner kick. Dundee went on to win the Derby 2–1 at Dens Park, relegating Dundee United to the Scottish Championship.[9]

Gadzhalov joined Brechin City on a one-month emergency loan deal in February 2018.[10] He was released by Dundee at the end of the 2017/18 season.[11]

In July 2018, Gadzhalov signed with Botev Vratsa.[12]
