Gareth McGlynn (born 29 October 1982 in Inch, Donegal, Ireland) is a retired footballer who played for Derry City.[1]
Career
[edit]Ireland
[edit]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 with his first goal for the club arriving 10 days later during a 3-3 draw with Shelbourne. 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.[citation needed]
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.[2]
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.[3]
In the close season of 2010, McGlynn was linked with a move to his former club Derry City.[4] McGlynn then re-signed for Derry City in January 2011.[citation needed]
Australia
[edit]He left Derry in December 2011 to go to Australia and signed for Stirling Lions in the Football West State League.[5]
America
[edit]After Australia he travelled to New York, making his debut in March 2014 with Lansdowne Bhoys FC.[6] He then went on to win two Cosmopolitan Soccer League titles in 2014 and 2015 with the Bhoys.
Back to Derry City
[edit]In 2016, he once again signed for Derry City on a one-year deal for his 3rd stint with the team.[7]
