Glynn Hurst (born 17 January 1976) is a former professional footballer who played as a striker.
Born in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, Hurst moved to South Africa at a young age.
Hurst started his career as a Tottenham Hotspur apprentice, but could not break into the first team. He joined Barnsley in 1994, where he was sent out on loan to many clubs including Swansea City, Scarborough, and Mansfield Town.
In 1997, he dropped out of the professional game and had a spell at Emley in the Northern Premier League. Since then he has played for Ayr United and , and was even top goalscorer for Chesterfield with 20 goals in all. After Chesterfield, Hurst played for Notts County where he was the club's top goalscorer with 15 goals in the 2004–05 season. Despite having scored nine goals in the 2005–06 season, Hurst was released from his Notts County contract on 29 December 2005.
He joined Shrewsbury days later. After scoring on his Shrewsbury debut against cross-border rivals Wrexham, Hurst scored twice more in fifteen further matches before the season's end. An injury-hit pre-season saw Hurst have back and achilles problems and lose his place in the team at the start of 2006–07.
