Playing career

Born in Croydon, London, ^[1] McGlashan started out in the youth team at Tooting & Mitcham United before moving to Staines Town's youth team.

In October 2006, McGlashan signed for the Staines Town first team, before being loaned out to Bracknell Town on dual registration terms. In the summer of 2008, he joined Kingstonian before being loaned out to Raynes Park Vale for the 2008–09 season. In July 2009, McGlashan moved on to Merstham before moving on again, this time joining Ashford Town (Middlesex) in December 2009. ^[2]

In the summer of 2010, McGlashan had trials for Bristol Rovers, Hayes & Yeading United and Southampton before signing for Aldershot Town on a one-year deal. ^[3] On 10 August, he made his professional debut, when he came on as a second half substitute against Watford in the League Cup. ^[4]

On 20 January 2012, Cheltenham Town signed Jermaine McGlashan on a 2+1⁄2-year contract, fighting off competition from League Two rivals Gillingham, for a reported £50–60,000. ^[5] He was the first Cheltenham player to be signed in a January transfer window requiring a fee. On 25 February 2012, McGlashan got his first Cheltenham Town goal in a 2–0 win over Burton Albion at home. McGlashan also won the club's Man of the Match award that day. ^[6] McGlashan left the club at the end of the 2013–14 season after rejecting a new contract with the "Robins" and considered offers from numerous League One, Two and Scottish League sides. ^[7] He then joined League One side Gillingham on a two-year contract. ^[8] After his two-year spell at the club, he was released.

On 23 June 2016 McGlashan signed for League One side Southend United on a two-year contract, with the option of a third year. ^[9] At the end of the 2017–18 season he was released by the club, ^[10] following which he joined Swindon Town. ^[11]

On 7 March 2019, McGlashan signed for Wrexham on loan from Swindon until the end of the 2018–19 season after manager Richie Wellens revealed he had no plans to include McGlashan in his squad for the following season and he was sent out on loan again to National League side Chesterfield until January 2020. McGlashan was released by Swindon in January 2020. ^[12]

Following his release from Swindon, McGlashan joined Ebbsfleet United until the end of the 2019–20 season. ^[13]
