On 7 July 2009 he was loaned back to his first senior club, Dinamo Zagreb. At the start of the season he featured in both matches of UEFA Champions League qualifiers against Red Bull Salzburg.

He signed a two-year contract with Polish club Arka Gdynia on 9 July 2010.[2] He was released from Arka Gdynia on 30 June 2011.[3] In February 2012, Glavina joined Varaždin.[4] In August 2012, Glavina signed a two-year contract with RNK Split.[5] In 2020 he joined Varaždin, a club not associated with the Varaždin team he played with earlier in his career, which folded in 2015.
