His father hailed from Sydney and was a former world champion and world no. 1 in lawn bowls.[1][2][3] His older brother, Ben, is also a bowls player.[4][5] Prior to his birth, his parents resided in Campbelltown, although his father occasionally travelled to Parramatta for work.[3] Glasson piqued interest in football at an early age and began playing at the age of five with local clubs Liverpool Rangers and Sydney Juniors.[6]

Glasson signed his first professional contract with Sydney FC on a three-year deal on 6 July 2023.[9] He made his first-team debut as a substitute on 13 August 2023 in an Australia Cup tie against Central Coast Mariners.
