Career
AFC Bournemouth
Born in Yeovil,[3] Glover joined AFC Bournemouth at the age of 11 and had his first taste of senior football whilst on loan at Weymouth in November 2018.[4] During this short-term spell, despite featuring four times and scoring once,[5] his time with The Terras was marred by injury. Following multiple the scans, the winger later then required ACL reconstruction due to a complication with tendons in his knee not successfully fusing together during his youth years.[4]
Prior to making his first-team debut for Bournemouth during the 2021–22 campaign, Glover briefly spent time on loan with Hemel Hempstead Town in October 2020, during a COVID-19 disrupted season, featuring just twice.[2]
On 24 August 2021, during an EFL Cup second round tie against Norwich City, he made his long-awaited debut for the club, replacing Emiliano Marcondes and featuring for 26 minutes in the 6–0 defeat.[6] Later that campaign in October, Glover joined National League side, Aldershot Town on loan until January 2022, with this subsequently being extended until the end of the season.[7] He went onto feature 29 times for the Shots, scoring three times.[2]
Aldershot Town
On 5 August 2022, following his release from Bournemouth, Glover made his return to Aldershot Town, signing a two-year deal upon arrival.[8] He made his return to a Shots shirt, featuring for the full 90 minutes during their opening day 4–1 defeat to Solihull Moors.[9] Glover went onto score 5 times in 45 league appearances this campaign, with notable goals coming against FC Halifax Town and local rivals, Dorking Wanderers.[2] Glover scored 10 goals in 101 appearances for Shots before turning down a new deal at the end of the 2023-24 season.
Barnet
Glover signed for Barnet in August 2024.[10] Having helped the club to promotion as champions in his first season, he was named Player of the Season.[11]
