Gardoș was born in Satu Mare. On 17 June 2010 he was transferred to Steaua București. On 16 August 2010 Gardoș made his team debut for Steaua in Liga I against Victoria Brănești. In September 2011, he was suspended 10 games for breaking the leg of Băcilă, Pandurii Târgu Jiu's player.
On 14 August 2014, he joined Premier League side Southampton for an undisclosed fee, believed to be around €7.5 million, signing a four-year deal.

On 23 July 2015, it was announced by Southampton manager Ronald Koeman that Gardoș would be sidelined for up to seven months due to a knee injury suffered in a 3–0 win in a pre-season friendly against Feyenoord.
