On 1 December 2020, Sydney Olympic FC announced they had signed Glassock.
In the 2021 NPL season, Glassock started all of Sydney Olympic’s 17 NPL games and 4 of its FFA Cup Preliminary games before the season ended due to the Covid-19 outbreak in NSW. He scored 4 goals from 21 appearances.
On 24 November, at just 22 years and 20 days, Glassock captained Sydney Olympic against Sydney FC in the FFA Cup Round of 32. On 31 July, he helped Sydney Olympic to win the 2022 NSW NPL Premiership and was named in NPL NSW Team Of The Year for 2022.
After a successful 2022 season for Sydney Olympic, Glassock signed for Malaysia Super League side Sri Pahang FC on 6 January 2023.[4]
