He quickly became part of the main team and until the end of 2008–09 season earned 15 appearances playing in the A PFG, scoring one goal.

On 7 August 2009, Galchev was announced as Pirin's new club captain.[5]

On 27 March 2010, he played in his first Eternal Derby against Levski Sofia after coming on as a substitute during the second half of the game. He established himself as a key player in the midfield for CSKA. For the Reds Galchev appeared in 60 games, scoring three goals.

In early January 2013, Galchev returned to Bulgaria and signed a contract with Botev Plovdiv.[8] On 3 January 2014 his contract was terminated by mutual agreement. [9]

Return to CSKA[edit]

In January 2014, Galchev rejoined CSKA Sofia, with the expectation of improved financial parameters for the next season.[10] During the 2014–15 A PFG season he has mostly seen action as a substitute. On 25 October 2014, he scored the third goal for his team in the 3–0 win over Levski Sofia in the Eternal Derby.[11] He was released in January 2017.[12]
