Ron Glick (Hebrew: רון גליק; born January 23, 1985 in Branford, Connecticut) is an Israeli professional football (soccer) player currently contracted by Maccabi Petah Tikva.
Playing career
Glick made his senior debut in a Toto Cup match during the 2004/05 season. The next season, he made his Israeli Premier League debut against Beitar Jerusalem as a substitute in the ninetieth minute. Four rounds later, Glick found himself in the starting eleven against F.C. Ashdod. The 2006/07 season was due to be his breakout year, but a rash of injuries relegated him to seeing most matches from the stands.
After returning from injury, Glick hired a personal trainer to stay return to match fitness. He also had an unsuccessful trial with Toronto FC in the American MLS,[1] later San Jose Earthquakes and Columbus Crew in May 2008.[2] In May 2009, Glick moved to Australian club FC Oont, on a free transfer. He has subsequently been named captain and helped the team to a runners up finish for the 2010 season, scoring a few key goals in the process.
National Team
