Paul Gladon (born 18 March 1992) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as forward for Willem II.[1]
He previously played in the Netherlands for Sparta Rotterdam, FC Dordrecht and Heracles Almelo respectively before a short stay with English side Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Career
While on loan at FC Dordrecht from Sparta Rotterdam, Gladon scored a 19-minute hat-trick for against FC Volendam on 8 March 2014.
On 26 August 2016, he moved from Heracles Almelo to English Championship club Wolverhampton Wanderers on a three-year deal (with the option of a further year) for an undisclosed fee.[2] He made his club debut on 10 September 2016 in a 1–1 draw with Burton Albion.[3]
On 29 June 2017, after only making three appearances in all competitions for Wolves, he re-joined his former club Heracles Almelo on a season-long loan.[4]
At the start of the following season, by which time Wolves had been promoted to the Premier League, Gladon still remained outside of their first team plans. Instead, he moved to Belgium First Division side Sint-Truiden on loan in a move scheduled to last until the end of the season.[5] However, he failed to break into the side and made just one league appearance as a substitute.
In January 2019, after not having featured for Wolves since September 2016, Gladon's contract with the club was terminated by mutual consent.[6][7]
On 16 January, he agreed a deal with Dutch club Groningen for the remainder of the season.[8]
