Gary Christofer Kagelmacher Pérez (born 21 April 1988) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays as a right-back or a central defender for Chilean club Universidad Católica.

Club career

Born in Montevideo of German descent, Kagelmacher began his professional career with local club Danubio FC. In 2007, aged 19, he was loaned to Real Madrid Castilla in the Spanish Segunda División B, being first choice from an early stage; the move was made permanent at the end of his first season.

In the last match of the 2008–09 campaign, Kagelmacher made his La Liga debut with Real Madrid, starting in a 2–1 away loss against CA Osasuna.[1] [2] In the summer of 2010, he was loaned to K.F.C. Germinal Beerschot of the Belgian Pro League.[3]

Kagelmacher agreed to a permanent four-year contract at Beerschot on 6 May 2011. In the following transfer window, however, he moved countries again and signed with AS Monaco FC of the French Ligue 2.[4]

On 30 June 2014, Kagelmacher joined TSV 1860 Munich on a three-year deal, arriving from Valenciennes FC.[5] He scored his first goals for his new team on 8 March of the following year, but in a 3–2 home defeat to SV Sandhausen.[6]

After one season in the Israeli Premier League with Maccabi Haifa F.C. and two and a half in the Belgian top division at the service of K.V. Kortrijk,[7] the 31-year-old Kagelmacher returned to his homeland in the 2020 January transfer window after signing with Peñarol.[8] He competed abroad subsequently, with Club León in the Mexican Liga MX[9] and Club Deportivo Universidad Católica in the Chilean Primera División.[10]

International career

Kagelmacher played for the Uruguay under-17 side at the 2005 FIFA World Championship.[11] Two years later, he appeared with the under-20s at the 2007 World Cup.[12]
