His father hailed from Sydney and was a former world champion and world no. 1 in lawn bowls.[1] [2] [3] His older brother, Ben, is also a bowls player.[4] [5] Prior to his birth, his parents resided in Campbelltown, although his father occasionally travelled to Parramatta for work.[3] Glasson peaked interest in football at an early age and began playing at the age of five with local clubs Liverpool Rangers and Sydney Juniors.[6]
Glasson began his football career at Southern Districts Raiders before being scouted and signed by Sydney FC Youth.[1] He achieved the Sydney FC Rising Star Award during his time with the senior youth squad.[7] He notably scored the winner, and only goal, in a league victory over Sydney United 58 on 21 March 2023.[1] [8]
Glasson signed his first professional contract with Sydney FC on a three-year deal on 6 July 2023.[9] He made his first-team debut as a substitute on 13 August 2023 in an Australia Cup tie against Central Coast Mariners. He scored the fifth penalty for Sydney FC in a 10–9 penalty shootout to defeat the Mariners.[10] [11] Glasson made his A-League Men debut on 21 October 2023 in a 2–0 Big Blue defeat to Melbourne Victory.[12] He featured off the bench that contained all Sydney FC Academy products for the first time in club history.[13]
