A native of Huddersfield, England, Gledhill joined the Owls’ staff following four years as the head coach at Holmes Community College in Goodman, Mississippi. During his tenure with the Lady Bulldogs, Gledhill led the team to a third-place finish in the MACJC North Division in his first year in 2012.

In his college career, Gledhill spent three seasons at the University of Mobile where he became a two-time All-American and led the Rams to their first-ever National Championship as a senior in 2002. During the NAIA National Tournament that year, Gledhill was named the sole MVP out of a pool of players from 220 participating colleges. In his three seasons with the Rams, Gledhill was the top scorer for the team in two of those years.
In 2001, as a junior in college, Gledhill spent one year at Fairfield University. During his season with Stags, Gledhill set the school record for goals scored in a single season and led the conference in scoring, propelling the Stags to their highest ever NCAA ranking of #12 in the nation.
