Gleeson's 2018 season was blighted by a series of injuries. A pulled quad hampered him during the early rounds of the National League while he also suffered an infected cut on his ankle. Just before the start of the Munster Championship he sustained a hamstring injury after playing just 14 minutes of a club game with Mount Sion.[25]
