[edit] Career

A former employee in Harry's restaurant in Bridgend, County Donegal, McGlynn is regarded as a veteran in the side, despite only being in his early twenties, having broken into the side at the age of 17. He made his debut in April 2001 in a 1-0 home victory over Kilkenny City AFC. His first goal for the club arrived 10 days later during a 3-3 draw with Shelbourne FC. That goal made him the 100th player ever to score for Derry in the League of Ireland. In all, he has made over 200 appearances for the Candystripes and scored 19 goals in total making him the 15th player to reach this milestone for Derry. His 200th appearance was made during a game with Drogheda United at United Park towards the end of the 2006 season.

An Irish youth international, McGlynn can play on the right or in the centre of midfield. A talented ball player, he has battled his way back into the team and impressed Stephen Kenny sufficiently to warrant a run in the side.

Despite being a Donegal man, McGlynn is a firm favourite amongst the City support.

In September 2006, two semi-final goals from McGlynn against Limerick F.C. helped Derry win 3-0 and thus qualify for the final of the Eircom League Cup.^[1]
