Club Career

Born in Marin, Pontevedra, Galicia, Mallo played youth football for three local clubs, finishing his development with RC Celta de Vigo.

The following 3 April, again from the bench, he was sent off for conceding a penalty kick with a foul on Juan Dominguez which resulted in the only goal of Real Union's visit to Balaidos.

On 16 October 2010, Mallo scored his first career goal in a 2–2 draw at Villarreal CF B. He started in all 34 matches he appeared in the 2011–12 campaign, as the side finished second and returned to La Liga after five years; he made his debut in the competition on 18 August 2012, in a 0–1 home defeat to Malaga CF.
