Glennon came on as a substitute for Galway in the 2012 All-Ireland SHC final against Kilkenny.[3] In 2016, he publicly admitted to having a serious gambling addiction, which had caused problems with the law, his family and hurling, and even to him contemplating ending his own life.[4]
On 3 September 2017, Glennon was a non-playing substitute for Galway as they won their first All-Ireland SHC title for 29 years by defeating Waterford in the final.[5][6]
On 17 July 2021, Glennon helped Westmeath win the Joe McDonagh Cup for the first time after a 2–28 to 1–24 win over Kerry at Croke Park.[7]
