Early life

edit

Dobson attended Brentwood School in Essex between 2009 and 2014 until the age of 16.[3] This is the same school as retired international footballer Frank Lampard.[4]

Club career

edit

West Ham United

edit

Dobson started his career as a youth player at Arsenal aged eight before joining West Ham on 28 July 2015.[5] Dobson, aged 17 at the time, was placed straight into the club's U21 side and played frequently during the 2015–16 season. At Arsenal, Dobson was played as a centre-back. However, much to the player's delight, West Ham trained him into a central midfielder, often playing in a holding or defensive role. He is a boyhood West Ham United fan and this helped in the decision of joining the club in 2015.[5]

Walsall (loan)

edit

On 29 June 2016, Dobson signed for League One side Walsall on a season-long loan.[6] He made his debut in the EFL Cup in a 2–0 home defeat to Yeovil Town.[7] He started the match before being substituted on the 69th minute. His league debut came on 16 August when he started the match in a 0–2 defeat at Chesterfield.[8]

Sparta Rotterdam

edit

On 16 July 2017, it was announced Dobson had signed for Eredivisie side Sparta Rotterdam for an undisclosed fee.[9]

Walsall

edit

Dobson re-joined Walsall on a two-and-a-half-year contract during the 2017–18 January transfer window.[10]

Sunderland

edit

On 25 July 2019, Dobson signed for Sunderland on a three-year deal.[11] He scored his first goal for Sunderland in an EFL Cup tie against Burnley on 28 August 2019.[12]

In the 2020-21 season, Dobson had become a fringe figure at Sunderland, starting only three league games. Despite being unhappy at his lack of gametime, he reportedly turned down potential moves away from the club,[13]

AFC Wimbledon (loan)

edit

On 22 January 2021, when it was announced that Dobson had joined League One side AFC Wimbledon on loan for the remainder of the season.[14] He scored his first goal for Wimbledon in a 1-1 draw with Wigan Athletic on 16 March 2021.[15]

Charlton Athletic

edit

Dobson joined Charlton Athletic on 1 July 2021, signing a two-year deal with the club.[16]

In December 2022, following the appointment of Dean Holden as manager, Dobson was given the captaincy to take over from Jayden Stockley.[17]

On 3 May 2024, after months of speculation, it was confirmed that Dobson would be leaving Charlton Athletic following the end of the 2023-24 season.[18]

Fehérvár

edit

On 11 February 2024, it was announced that Dobson had signed a pre-contract with Hungarian side Fehérvár which would see him join the club on 1 July 2024. In the club's statement, it said that originally the deal would have seen Dobson move before the 14 February 2024 Hungarian transfer window closure, but that this deal had been cancelled by Charlton Athletic.[19]
