Career[]

Glynn missed all of the 2016 season but returned to the Galway panel in April 2017 after returning from New York City where he played football for New York. He will continue to be based in New York but will return for Galway matches when required.[2] On 22 April 2017, he came on as a substitute as Galway won the 2017 National Hurling League after a 3-21 to 0-14 win against Tipperary in the final.[3][4][5][6] On 3 September 2017, Glynn started for Galway as they won their first All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship in 29 years against Waterford.[7][8][9][10]

On 13 April 2020, he revealed that he and his fiancée had tested COVID-19 positive.[11] Later that month he announced his retirement from inter-county hurling. [12]
