An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (39.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.53 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Glad.
Judged on this season alone, Glad graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 44th of 62 of the 62 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 1 clean sheet and 2.53 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 29 → 6). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 48th of 62 of the 62 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 29 Glad is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.

Watch points
- Game time. Only 39.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 23.7, Glad carries the 48th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer of 62 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
