De Glanville is the son of Yolanda and Phil de Glanville, a former rugby player and captain of the England national rugby union team. [3]
He was born in Bath, [4] attended school at Beechen Cliff School in Bath and joined Bath Rugby academy. After attaining 3 As at A-Level, [5] he then moved to the University of Leeds to study Biology and was loaned to National League 2 North side Otley R.U.F.C. on a dual-registration whilst studying there. [6] [7] De Glanville then transferred to the University of Bath in order to keep training with Bath academy. [8]
In 2019, de Glanville captained Bath at the Premiership Sevens. Later in the year, he signed his first senior contract to play for the Bath Rugby senior team. [8] He made his Premiership Rugby debut against Exeter Chiefs in September 2019. [9]
In the summer of 2017 De Glanville was a member of the England under-18 team that toured South Africa and the following year he scored two tries against Wales under-18 at Sardis Road.

De Glanville has played in several positions in the backs. The Bath coach Todd Blackadder once said that de Glanville would play well at fly-half.
