Career

Born in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, Gleeson joined Cambridge United as a trainee in 2001 and his debut on 1 November 2003, in Division Three against Kidderminster Harriers. He made a total of 51 Football League and Conference appearances for Cambridge before signing for Notts County in July 2006. He rejoined Cambridge on loan in March 2007, where he has been an established player for the Conference National side. The deal was made permanent in the summer.

Gleeson scored his first senior goal in the 7–0 win against Weymouth in March 2007.

Following a great start to the 2007–08 season, he was rewarded by his first England National Game XI (England 'C') cap in November and signed a new deal to 2010.

On 19 May 2010 Gleeson joined Cambridge's Conference rivals Luton Town on a free transfer, signing a two-year contract. [4] He was a regular in the side during the 2010–11 season, also playing in Luton's play-off final defeat to AFC Wimbledon. Gleeson played far fewer games the next season due to a combination of injury and being kept out of the team by Curtis Osano. On 30 May 2012, Luton manager Paul Buckle did not offer Gleeson a new contract, and he subsequently left the club. [5]

On 2 July 2012, Gleeson signed for Lowestoft Town.

Personal life

He was born just minutes from the Abbey and watched Cambridge United with his family before joining the club as a scholar.[ citation needed ]

The 2009–10 season was the 124th season in the history of Luton Town Football Club. Luton's 23rd-place finish in the 2006–07 Football League Championship, last-place finish in the 2007–08 Football League One, and another last-place finish in the 2008–09 Football League Two meant that the club competed in the Conference Premier for the first time in its history, and in a division outside of the Football League for the first time since the beginning of their second spell as a member in 1920. Although tipped as favorites for the title and promotion before the season had even begun, the club struggled to immediately adapt to life in the new division, ultimately costing manager Mick Harford his job. Richard Money was appointed as the new manager soon after, eventually leading the club to an unbeaten run of 14 games towards the end of the season that propelled them to a second-place finish in the league. However, defeat in the play-off semi-finals to York City meant Luton was to remain in the Conference for the 2010–11 season.

The 2010–11 season was the 125th season in the history of Luton Town Football Club.

The 2011–12 season was the 126th season in the history of Luton Town Football Club. Their third-place finish and subsequent penalty shoot-out loss to AFC Wimbledon in the Conference Premier play-off final in 2010–11 meant they competed in non-League football for the third consecutive year.
