Glynn made his first start for the senior Bristol RFC side in 2010, having joined at 18 years old. His 15 starts in Bristol's 2015–16 RFU Championship season, helped the west country side gain promotion to the top flight of English Rugby. He stayed with Bristol as they begun their top flight season in the Aviva Premiership 2016-2017. Bristol failed to adapt to the top-flight of English rugby and were relegated in May 2017.[3] However Glynn's solid presence in the middle of the field had not gone un-noticed by Premiership sides.[4]

At the time his role was to be backup at Lock for the then injured Sam Twomey.[5] However Glynn soon became a first team regular in Harlequins 2017/18 Aviva Premiership season. His success on the pitch, saw Glynn signing a new contract with Harlequins, on December 1 2017. His first Quins' contract had only been for one year.[6]
