He is a product of Exeter's youth system, making his debut in 2001, before going onto become a key part of Exeter's first team, playing in central midfield. Following the Grecians' relegation from the English Football League in 2003 he was made club captain, and despite injury problems that kept him out for much of the 2004/05 season.
In July 2006, Cronin signed a contract with Football League Two club Chester City. He missed much of the 2006/07 season with a foot injury. After working his way to recovery, a further foot injury in July 2007 ultimately caused Chester to release him from his contract on 21 November 2007.[1]
Cronin signed for Bohemians on 27/2/08 [2] and has slotted seamlessly into the side as Bohs marched to the 2008 Premier Division title. Cronin also added an FAI Cup winners medal as Bohs achieved the "Double" by beating Derry City on penalties after a 2–2 draw.[3]
The 2009 season was also a successful one for Cronin when, firstly, the Gypsies won the League of Ireland Cup by beating Waterford United 3–1 at the RSC.[4] The success did not end there though as Bohemians won their first back-to-back titles in the club's 119 year history, beating rivals Shamrock Rovers by 4 points.[1]
Despite winning the Setanta Sports Cup,[5] Bohemians had a disappointing 2010 season where the club lost their league title on goal difference and failed to make an impact in Europe where they made an embarrassing exit to Welsh side The New Saints. Glenn was one of the club's bright spots though as he had his best season at Bohs to date.
Glenn joined Shelbourne ahead of the 2012 season.
He has represented the Republic of Ireland at youth and under-21 levels.
