Coach Dylan, 21

Outfield Player

Dylan Glancy brings a blend of professional and grassroots football experience to his work behind the scenes of the game.

Dylan is closely involved in Harpenden Town's academy set-up, building a direct pathway for older players into the non-league system - a link that gives promising talent a genuine route into senior football when the professional academy route isn't the right fit.

Dylan also works as a scout for Premier League side Brentford, identifying and assessing talent as part of one of English football's most respected recruitment departments. Between his analytical work at Luton, his grassroots development role at Harpenden, and his scouting responsibilities at Brentford, Dylan offers a genuinely well-rounded perspective across every level of the game — from non-league pathways right through to the Premier League.
