In the early part of Roberts' career, he played Second XI cricket for Essex, Worcestershire and Glamorgan. He signed in 1996 for Derbyshire, for whom he played at First-class level.
After appearing in a debut match which more-or-less put Derbyshire out of the running for the 1996 County Championship title, despite making a half-century himself. He had the nickname, 'Mr Charisma'.
He continued to perform for Derbyshire well into 1998, primarily as a batsman, but as 1999 came, and the whole team suffered a dip in form, Roberts was out of the side. Team-mate Ian Blackwell's bowling skill had developed, and Roberts was surplus to requirements. He was not re-signed by any team until 2001, when he appeared in the Minor Counties Championship for Herefordshire. He was a left-handed batsman and a slow left-arm bowler
Glen recently became a professional umpire in his hometown region. Glen has umpired at some of the top venues around the country.
Glenn continues to pass on his cricketing knowledge taking up a career in teaching and is one of the most well known and respected physical education teachers in the North of England.
