Club career
Melbourne Victory Galloway was one of three Melbourne Victory summer signings of 2013, along with Francesco Stella and Jesse Makarounas. He debuted in the Melbourne derby against crosstown rivals Melbourne Heart on 2 February 2013, a game in which they won 2-1, with goals from Archie Thompson and Mark Milligan. Galloway scored his first goal for the club in a loss to Wellington Phoenix on 2 March 2015.
Central Coast Mariners On 19 October 2016, Galloway left Melbourne Victory after failing to secure regular game time at the club and joined Central Coast Mariners. He made his first appearance for the club as a substitute in a loss to Brisbane Roar three days later.
In May 2017, the Mariners allowed Galloway to travel to the Netherlands for a trial with Willem II. Three days later, the Mariners announced that Galloway would be leaving the club, although this was said not to be directly related to his Dutch trial.
Wellington Phoenix Despite trialing in the Netherlands, on 29 June 2017, Galloway joined Wellington Phoenix on a one-year contract following Rado Vidošić and Darije Kalezić convincing him it would be the best place for him to develop his game.
Adelaide United After being on trial for the club, Galloway officially signed for A-League side Adelaide United for the 2018–19 season. He scored his first goal for Adelaide in the first game of the 2018–19 A-League, a 1–1 draw with Sydney FC.
Melbourne City Following the end of his tenure at Adelaide, Galloway signed for Melbourne City ahead of the 2019–20 A-League season. He made his league debut for the club in a 0-0 draw against his former side Melbourne Victory. Galloway would go on to make 106 appearances for the club across all competitions, scoring seven goals and lifting the A-League Premiers Plate three times and the A-League Championship once in what is cited as the clubs most successful period so far. Following the end of the 2023–24 A-League season he would depart the City via mutual termination of his remaining contract.
Auckland FC Scott Galloway would sign for expansion club Auckland FC for their inaugural campaign ahead of the 2024–25 A-League season. Galloway would only go on to make four substitute appearances for Auckland as a calf injury ruled him out for a majority of the season. Galloway departed Auckland FC following the end of their Premiership winning season via mutual termination, citing a desire to return to Australia to be with his family.
Preston Lions Galloway joined the Preston Lions ahead of their 2026 Australian Championship campaign, but made zero appearances before departing. Galloway announced his retirement from professional football to focus on coaching in September 2026.
