Former Norwich youth team midfielder Glen Smith joined Jewson Eastern League side Fakenham at the end of February 2002. Glen was with Norwich from the age of 12 til 16 when he was released. Aged 19 when he joined Fakenham, the Ghosts' manager Neil Jarvis said "He has good habits. I know he's a good player but he needs games" - Glen hadn't played competitively since leaving the Canaries.

After two year with Fakenham, Glen left to study at Northampton University where he captained their football team. In May 2006, he informed me that he had been invited to attend pre-season training with Kings Lynn alongside brother Adam.
