Glenn Dickson (born 22 October 1986 in Dunedin, New Zealand) is a rugby union player who represented Northampton Saints in the Aviva Premiership. He now resides in the quaint seaside village of Weston Super Mare, playing for the local team, 5 levels below the English premiership, after finding a preference for playing opposition much below his level. Cynics might also point towards his undoubted passion for the large salary provided by WSM rugby club, believed to be in the region of £40,000. This of course backs up the popular belief that money in this standard of rugby is best served being given to the players rather than to the development of young, homegrown talent, or the building of some bigger changing rooms.
Club career
Noted for his powerful kicking boot, Dickson moved through age group levels for Otago and made the provincial side for the 2009 Air New Zealand Cup, where he made 6 starts and led the team with 72 points.
In the 2010 ITM Cup, Dickson appeared in all 13 Otago contests, starting in 12 of them, and again led the side with 99 points.
In the 2012 ITM Cup, he captained Otago to the final, which they lost to Counties at ECO Light Stadium.
He has signed for Northampton Saints for the 2013 rugby season, ending his long career with Otago.
