Midfielder Glass picked up an FAI Cup winners’ medal during a short spell at Derry City.
It’s the second time he has played for Cove, having previously scoring seven goals in 21 games during a spell in 2019-20.
Glass missed a year of football with a serious knee injury but is now back to full fitness.
“It’s great to be back,” Glass told Cove Rangers website after becoming Paul Hartley’s first signing.
“This has been a special place for me and, as soon as I got the call, I had no doubts.
“Hopefully I’m over the injuries now and it’ll be good to get back into that regular flow of playing games.
“That’s what I need at this stage of my career.

“I’ve been doing everything I can in terms of fitness, doing rehab, working with sports scientists.
“I just want to kickstart 2023 in the best possible way. It felt good being back out on the pitch training last night.
“It felt as if I’ve never been away.”
Dundee United give youngsters loan experience
Fotheringham has also impressed during his time at Stirling, with five goals in 15 games.
Duffy spent last season on loan at Peterhead while Hutchinson was recently with Montrose.
Only injury prevented Hutchinson from featuring more regularly with the Links Park side.
And he will now have the opportunity to impress at Angus rivals Forfar. Comerford is a United academy graduate.
