Career

Charlton Athletic

McGleish was born in Barnet, Greater London.[1] He began his career at non-league Edgware Town in 1993, before being scouted by league club Charlton Athletic.[6] At the age of 20, McGleish was loaned to Leyton Orient for the first of four spells at the club. During this loan, he made six appearances and scored his first senior goal in league football. He returned to Charlton but made only a limited number of starts. He then moved to Peterborough United, where he made only a few substitute appearances.[quantify] He was sent out on loans to Colchester United and Cambridge United.

1997–2007

He was subsequently sold to his previous club, Leyton Orient, now holding a constant place in the team, and in his one-year spell back at Brisbane Road he scored seven goals.[7] After this single season he was sold to Barnet, where he stayed for four years and had a goals-to-game ratio of a goal every 3.6 games.[8] He then returned to Colchester United, where he averaged a similar goal-scoring tally. He moved to Northampton Town in 2004 under a Bosman transfer and was their player of the year in his first season.[9] In 2006, he retained the player of the season accolade, Northampton's first player for 31 years to do so.[9] The same season, he scored 24 goals as Northampton won promotion. He signed a new two-year contract in June 2006.[9]

Wycombe Wanderers

He joined Wycombe Wanderers on 25 January 2007 for an undisclosed fee from Northampton Town, signing a two-year contract.[10]

McGleish was loaned out to his former club

Stuart Gray
decided not to sign the striker in the January transfer window, and he returned to Wycombe.

East London again

He rejoined former club

Tranmere Rovers
. On 1 May, he scored a 94th-minute goal to seal Orient's League One status with a 2–0 win over Wycombe with a game to spare. The goal also relegated his old club, as they needed a win to maintain their own League One status.

On 7 December 2010, McGleish scored an extra-time hat-trick in the FA Cup second round against Droylsden. His teammate Jonathan Téhoué also scored a hat-trick, ultimately guiding Orient to an 8-2 victory and a place in the Third Round.[13]

On 10 May 2011, McGleish was released by Leyton Orient after his fourth stint with the club, despite being the club's top scorer of the 2010–11 season with 17 league goals.[14] McGleish revealed that he had not been offered a new contract and added that he was "gutted and a little bit shocked", although he had suspected that he would be released.[15]

Bristol Rovers

On 29 June 2011, he signed a contract with recently relegated Bristol Rovers. McGleish stated that his desire to work with manager Paul Buckle was the main reason for him signing.

On 6 August 2011, the opening day of the 2011–12 season, McGleish scored Rovers' first goal and set up another on his debut for the club in their 3–2 win at AFC Wimbledon.[16]

McGleish re-joined Barnet on a short-term loan deal on 1 March 2012.[17]

On 17 May 2012, McGleish was released by the Rovers.

In November 2012, McGleish joined Chesham United on a free transfer from Whitehawk.[18]

Enfield Town

McGleish was released from Whitehawk on 1 January 2013 and promptly joined Isthmian League Premier Division side Enfield Town.[19] He made his debut for the club in a 3–2 defeat against Bury Town, in which he scored. He scored nine more goals in his next eight games, including braces against Carshalton Athletic and Metropolitan Police and a hat-trick against Cray Wanderers.

Wealdstone

In March 2013, McGleish accepted an offer to join rivals

Conference South.[20] He marked his debut with a goal in a 4-2 win over Margate. He played in the Isthmian League Premier Division play-off semi-final against Concord Rangers
, hitting the crossbar late on while Wealdstone were 1-0 up. They went on to lose the game 2-1 in extra time. McGleish signed on for the 2013-14 season at Wealdstone and was part of the team that won the Isthmian League Premier Division title and thus achieved promotion to the Conference South. He finished the season as the club's top scorer with 23 goals.

Cheshunt

In 2017, McGleish joined

Dorking Wanderers
in the FA Cup at the age of 43, making him the oldest player in Cheshunt's history.

Return to Chesham United

Having made only one appearance for Cheshunt, McGleish rejoined Chesham United in September 2017; he made his second début in a 2–0 win over Dunstable Town on 12 September, scoring the second goal.[21] In October 2018, McGleish departed the club alongside fellow coaches Mark Swales and Dave Sandiford.[22] He returned to Hendon as a player-coach in December 2018, a club he played for as a youth in the early 90s.[23]

Leverstock Green

In June 2021, McGleish joined Leverstock Green as player/assistant manager, joining new manager Fergus Moore.[3] He has made over 50 appearances for the Greens.
