Glyn Garner (born 9 December 1976 in Pontypool, Wales) is a professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for English club Shrewsbury Town.

He was brought up in Cwmbran, Torfaen. Garner's idol is Neville Southall and he supports Everton F.C. because of this. [1]

[edit] Club career

Garner started his career at Cwmbran Town before moving to Llanelli.

In 2000, he joined Bury where he played over 140 games over five seasons. He joined East London side Leyton Orient in 2005, going on to make nearly 100 appearances.

In May 2007, Garner turned down the opportunity of an extended contract at Leyton Orient to join League Two side Shrewsbury Town as their first choice goalkeeper. His Shrewsbury debut came in the 4-0 away win at Lincoln on the opening day of the 2007-08 season, whilst one week later he produced a stunning last-gasp save from Bradford City's Paul Evans, as Shrewsbury won 1-0 in their first league game at New Meadow.

[edit] International career

Garner has been selected for the Welsh national team on two occasions and won an international cap against Trinidad and Tobago in May 2006.
