Player Profile:

Right-back who can also play in the centre of defence who was born in Lewisham, London. Glenn came through the youth set-up at Crystal Palace and eventually became reserve team captain. He was sent on a month-long loan to Isthmian League First Division side AFC Wimbledon before signing permanently for Conference club Rushden & Diamonds in July 2006. In March 2007, he was loaned to fellow Conference side Kidderminster Harriers for the rest of the season.

In the summer of 2007, Glenn joined Crawley Town on a free transfer and made 150 appearances for them during a period of great success for the Sussex club – they won the Conference and promotion from League Two. He was an unused sub when Crawley played Manchester United at Old Trafford in the FA Cup Fifth Round on 19.2.11.

His time at Crawley included loan spells at Fleetwood Town and Woking. In May 2012, he was released by Crawley.

In June 2012, Glenn signed for Conference Premier side Gateshead on a one-year deal but, in January 2013, went on loan to Salisbury City for the rest of the season, helping them to win the Conference South play-off final 3-2 against Dover on 12.5.13. He was released by Gateshead at the end of 2012-13.

He returned to Salisbury City for 2013-14, now a Conference Premier team, and took on the role of captain. Glenn then signed for Conference Premier side Aldershot Town for 2014-15 where he was also captain.

Margate signed Glenn in the summer of 2015 and he became our regular right-back in 2015-16, missing only a handful of games. His only goal for the club came in a 3-2 win at Chelmsford City on 20.2.16. He was sent off in a 3-1 defeat at Maidenhead United on 5.3.16. His consistency was recognised when he was voted players’ player of the season.

Glenn was one of a number of players released by the club at the end of the season and his next destination was Greenwich Borough of the Isthmian League Division One South. There then followed a brief stay at Grays Athletic before he signed for National Conference South team Wealdstone in 2017-18. In January 2019, Glenn joined Hornchurch on dual registration.
