Although naturally a right-winger, Gardner played as a right-back during his time at Elland Road.[3]
He made his full debut for Leeds on 14 August 2007 in a 1–0 win against Macclesfield Town in the League Cup.

On 19 September 2008, Gardner re-joined Farsley Celtic, now in the Conference North, on a one-month loan, playing in three games.[6][7]
Mansfield Town
On 30 January 2009, Gardner's contract at Leeds United was terminated by mutual consent.[8] 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.[9] 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.[10]
Coaching career
