Glover started his career with Nottingham Forest in 1987, he stayed at the club for the next seven years, racking up close to 100 appearances. In 1989 he joined Leicester City on loan. In January 1990, he had a spell on loan with Barnsley but upon his return to Forest he managed to earn himself a starting place for the 1991 FA Cup Final. At the started of the following season he went out to Luton Town on loan.
He left Forest in July 1994, after Port Vale manager John Rudge put in an offer of £200,000, plus an extra £25,000 based on appearances. He made his debut on 14 August 1994 in a 2–0 defeat at Swindon Town, but two months later lost his first team place. He won it back in July 1995, but was dropped once again in November of that year.[1] He played in the 1996 Anglo-Italian Cup Final, as Vale lost 5–2 to Genoa.
In August 1996, he was purchased by Rotherham United for £150,000. He spent the next four years with the club and scored 33 goals in 100 appearances over all competitions before leaving for Macclesfield Town on a free transfer in July 2000. Over his two years Macclesfield he played close to 100 games. He signed with Mansfield Town on 6 September 2002,[2] but ten days later joined Burton Albion under former Forest teammate Nigel Clough.[3] After three months his contract with Burton was not renewed[4] and he moved on to Corby Town.
In 2003, Glover ended his playing career at the Steelmen and became manager of the club. With Corby looking likely to drop into the United Counties League, a move to higher league Grantham Town turned out to be too tempting for Glover, who soon left the Northamptonshire club.
Glover spent two years as manager of Grantham Town, from 2004 to 2006. He was sacked by the Gingerbreads following a bad run of results, which saw the club relegated from the Unibond League Premier Division.
Since then he has taken the position as assistant-manager of King's Lynn, under Keith Webb.[5] While Glover was at the club, Lynn were promoted to the Conference North. Two years later he and Webb left the Norfolk club with immediate effect, the reasons for his departure are unknown, however it is believed it was due to the club's relegation following ground issues at their Walks Stadium.
He is currently helping out Nigel Clough at Derby County.
