Biola University Athletics

Josh Glover will begin his time with Biola as the lead assistant coach for the men's soccer squad in the 2021 campaign.

Glover started his coaching career as an Assistant/Goalkeeper Coach at Westcliff University in Irvine, California before becoming the Volunteer Assistant Coach at NCAA DI California Baptist University where they recorded a 6-4-2 record for the season. 

Josh began his soccer career on the pitch playing for Westmont College in Santa Barbara, a former Golden State Athletic Conference school. Over two seasons representing the Warriors, Josh claimed a 15-13-2 record between the sticks, recording nine shutouts, while making 112 saves in the offense heavy GSAC. His final season in Santa Barbara produced First Team All-GSAC honors after allowing just 1.05 goals-per-game.

From there he moved into a professional career, first playing for the Concord Rangers of the National South League (England) and then Lowestoft Tower of the Southern Football League, Premier Central (England). He also made semi-pro stops in the United States, playing for the Southern California Seahorse’s of the United Soccer League 2 and the Orange Country Football Club of the National Premier Soccer League.

Josh is someone who is passionate about Christ, football and people, and the opportunity to combine the three to coach and invest in elite athletes for Jesus is what drew him to BIOLA. The ability to daily seek the Lord, strive to equip and empower young men, and do so through the platform of football is what motivates and inspires him on a daily basis.
