In 2004 Saville was a part of the Boomers squad that played in the Olympic Games and was a key contributor to the success of the Boomers. However in 2005 Glen was key factor in the Hawks' push to the Grand Final in season 2005, averaging a career high 17.8 ppg during the regular season as well as 9.4 rpg and 3.8 apg. But it was not enough and the Hawks eventually lost to the Sydney Kings.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
