Frank McGlynn (born 1985/1986) is an Irish sportsperson. He plays Gaelic football with his local club Glenfin and has been a member of the Donegal senior inter-county team since 2006. He has also played soccer for Finn Harps at underage level.^[1]

Playing career

McGlynn won his first Ulster Senior Football Championship medal with Donegal on 17 July 2011, becoming the first man from the Glenfin club to have a Ulster Football Championship winners medal.^[2]

He had a terrific game on 22 July 2012 as Donegal retained the Ulster title for the first time in its history with a 2-18 to 0-13 victory over Down.^[3]

His first point in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship came in 2012 against Cavan; he followed this with a point against Derry, a against Down in the Ulster Senior Football Championship Final and yet another point in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship semi-final victory against Cork. For a player in the left-full-back position this is considered a remarkable achievement at senior level.^[4] He added another point against Mayo in the 2012 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, bringing his 2012 championship season total to 1-04.^[5]

Against Down in the 2013 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship he was concussed.^[6]^[7]
