THE future of Josh Glenn at Norwood is under a cloud after he made himself unavailable for selection.

Joshua William Glenn, 24, pleaded guilty in court on Thursday to an aggravated count of recklessly causing harm to another after breaking the victim’s nose in Gawler in March, has told the club he needs to sort out his personal life.

The midfielder has not played in the past two rounds, including Friday night’s win over North Adelaide at The Parade. The Redlegs will play South Adelaide at Noarlunga Oval on Sunday and then have the bye in the first week of finals the following week as reward for earning the minor premiership.

Glenn’s case has been adjourned to September 21, only two days before the SANFL grand final.

Drafted by Gold Coast Suns from Central District in 2014, Glenn made five AFL appearances before quitting the club at the end of 2015.

He returned to the Bulldogs, only to leave the club at the end of last season to play with Willaston. However, he was sacked by the Barossa, Light & Gawler league club after the incident at a Gawler Hotel.
