Career[]
Swindon Town[]
After three years with JMA Reading FC at John Madejski Academy, Gladwin spent time playing for various non-League football teams such as AFC Wallingford, Hayes & Yeading United and Windsor & Eton, Gladwin moved into professional football when Swindon Town signed the midfielder from Marlow in November 2013.
Gladwin made his debut for Swindon on 10 December 2013, in a 1–1 draw at home to Stevenage in the Football League Trophy.[2] His first goal for the club came the following season, in a 3–2 loss against Plymouth Argyle in the same competition.[3] On 14 April 2015, Gladwin scored a first-half hat-trick in a 4–2 win away to Rochdale.[4] On 11 May 2015, Gladwin scored twice in Swindon's 5–5 draw with Sheffield United in the Football League play-offs, but Swindon went on to lose in the final 4–0 against Preston North End.
Queens Park Rangers[]
On 28 May 2015, Gladwin and Swindon Town teammate Massimo Luongo, joined Queens Park Rangers, both players signing on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[5]
On 12 August 2015, Gladwin made his competitive QPR debut in a 0–3 win against Yeovil Town in the first round of the 2015–16 Football League Cup.[6] On 10 January 2017, Gladwin moved to Swindon Town for a second loan spell until the end of the season.[7]
Blackburn Rovers[]
On 28 June 2017, Gladwin joined League One side Blackburn Rovers on a two-year deal.[8] In November 2017, Gladwin suffered an injury for which he required surgery that ruled him out of play until February 2018.[9][10] On 2 January 2020 he was released.[11]
Milton Keynes Dons[]
Gladwin signed for Milton Keynes Dons on 10 January 2020 on a short term deal.[12] Despite several positive performances, he was initially one of nine players released by the club after the conclusion of the 2019–20 season.[13] However, on 28 July 2020 the club announced Gladwin had returned and re-signed ahead of the 2020–21 campaign.[14]

Gladwin returned to Swindon Town on 26 July 2021 on a free transfer signing a one-year contract.[15] On 20 January 2022, Gladwin signed a new contract to keep him at the club beyond the end of the season.[16]
