Glenn, a Northcote junior, captained Brisbane's Toyota Cup team in 2008 and played for the Junior Kiwis in their victory over the Junior Kangaroos in Wellington in 2007.
Since moving up to first grade, Glenn has become a utility for the Broncos, although in late 2009 he was covering for centre Justin Hodges on the right hand side of the field with Israel Folau. Glenn proved he could also play lock in 2008, leading his Toyota Cup team from the number 13 jersey. In 2009 he played in 24 NRL games, standing down in Round 25 vs the Dragons to an ankle injury. Glenn is often a back-row regular, usually joining Sam Thaiday at second row and Corey Parker at lock.
