Conor Glass (born 28 September 1997) is a Gaelic footballer and former professional Australian rules footballer who played for the Hawthorn Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He signed with Hawthorn as a category B rookie in October 2015 and was subsequently drafted with their fourth selection and sixty-second overall in the 2016 rookie draft.[1] He retired at the end of the 2020 season and returned to Ireland.[2]

Sporting career

Glass captained the Derry minors side in the All-Ireland semi-finals.[3] Glass was recruited by Hawthorn as a class B rookie in 2015.[4] Arriving in Australia in July 2016, Glass played 6 games for the Box Hill development squad that included the squad's victorious grand final team. After a full summer pre-season training regime, Glass had played 12 games in the Box Hill's senior team before getting a call up for the Hawthorn team.

AFL career

He made his debut for Hawthorn in their fifty-two point win against Fremantle at Domain Stadium in round eighteen of the 2017 season.[3] Glass was widely seen as performing well in his debut.[5] Glass performed well throughout the rest of the season,[6] and on August 2, 2017, he signed a two-year rookie/player contract extension to stay on Hawthorn's rookie list until the end of 2018.[7]

Glass played only four senior games in 2018, but despite this was seen as having improved his skills during the year.[8]

Glass was elevated to the senior list in 2019. Glass kicked his first goal during the 2019 season, during Hawthorn's round 13 loss to Essendon.[9]

Glass played four games in 2020 and decided to return to Ireland at season's end.[2]

GAA career

Glass made his debut for Derry against Longford in the 2020 National Football League, a fixture delayed by many months due to the pandemic.[10]

During the first half of the 2022 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship semi-final game against Galway, a Glass effort at scoring a point was ruled wide by Hawk-Eye. That decision came under scrutiny when Hawk-Eye was shown to have malfunctioned later in the game by overturning an umpire decision's to award a point to Galway player Shane Walsh.[11][12][13] He won an All Star at the end of the season.[14]

On 21 January 2024, Glass scored 1-2 as Glen won the 2023–24 All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship for the first time after a 2-10 to 1-12 win against St Brigid's in the final at Croke Park.[15]
