Career[]

Youth career[]

Born in Bootle, Merseyside, Glennon started his football career playing for local youth side Croxteth Park, alongside Trent Alexander-Arnold.[3] He joined Liverpool's Academy at the age of six and spent over a decade at the club, progressing through the youth levels to the under-18 squad under Neil Critchley after leaving school.[4] He picked up a few knocks in his first season in the under-18 side, which kept him out of action and he struggled to find a place in the squad until late on in the season.[4] He had to wait until 18 February 2017 to make his first start, when he was drafted in to the line-up against Wolverhampton Wanderers after injuries to others.[4] Critchley was promoted to under-23 boss in the summer of 2017 and replaced by Reds legend Steven Gerrard, but Glennon built up a good relationship with the new boss.[4] However, Glennon didn't impress enough to earn a professional contract and was released at the end of the season.[3]

Burnley[]

He moved on to sign for Premier League side Burnley in July 2018, after impressing on trial.[5] He was appointed as captain of the under-23 side by manager Steve Stone shortly after his arrival at Turf Moor, and the club made great improvements in their second season in the Professional Development League.[3] On 25 July 2019, he signed a two-year extended contract with option of a further year at Turf Moor following an impressive first season in the under-23 squad, as well as being named on the first team bench for a Premier League game against Manchester City in April.[6] On 7 January 2020, he became manager Ian Holloway's first signing when he joined EFL League Two side Grimsby Town on loan until the end of the season.[7] The move materialised as Holloway had worked with Burnley's chief operating officer Matt Williams when he was at Blackpool, doing a lot of his scouting.[8] Holloway was in desperate need of a left-back and trusted Williams so much that he didn't even watch Glennon play himself before the move was completed.[8]

He moved on loan to Barrow in January 2022.[9]
