A former employee in Harry's restaurant in Bridgend, County Donegal, McGlynn broke into the Derry side at the age of 17. He made his debut in April 2001 in a 1-0 home victory over Kilkenny City AFC with his first goal for the club arriving 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. 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.
In September 2006, two semi-final goals from McGlynn against Limerick helped Derry win 3-0 and thus qualify for the final of the League of Ireland Cup.[1]
Gareth signed for Pat Fenlon's Bohemians in pre-season 2010 and scored his first goal for Bohemians against Drogheda United on 19 March 2010.[2] In the close season of 2010, McGlynn was linked with a move to his former club Derry City.[3]
McGlynn re-signed for Derry City in January 2011. He left the club in December 2012 to go to Australia.
