Glynn was selected in the Ireland squad for the 2008, 2010 and 2011 International Rules Series (winning in 2008 and 2011) while also picking up Wicklow Footballer of the Year for 2008. In September 2009 Leighton was nominated for a GAA All Star Award. In 2012 he was captain of the Wicklow side that won the Div 4 National Football League title in Croke Park.
Leighton will be ably assisted by Gavin Wynne and John Barrie who will bring further inter county management experience to the team while Mick Kavanagh will provide continuity from last years management.
