Swindon Town
Gladwin began at Reading's academy, and after being released played youth football with Eldon Celtic and Aldershot Town. He began his senior career in North Berks League Division One with AFC Wallingford, winning their Player of the Season award in his first campaign aged just 17. He then spent time playing for various non-League football teams such as Salisbury City and Hayes & Yeading United, before moving into professional football when Swindon Town signed the midfielder from Marlow in November 2013. Gladwin made his debut for Swindon on 10 December 2013, in a 1–1 draw at home to Stevenage in the EFL Trophy. His first goal for the club came the following season, in a 3–2 loss against Plymouth Argyle in the same competition. On 14 April 2015, Gladwin scored a first-half hat-trick in a 4–2 win away to Rochdale. On 11 May 2015, Gladwin scored twice in Swindon's 5–5 draw with Sheffield United in the Football League play-offs, but Swindon went on to lose in the final 4–0 against Preston North End.
