Born and raised in Bury, he attended Derby High School in the town.[3] Dawson joined Liverpool from Bury at the age of 14 for a reported £100,000, having turned down an offer from Manchester City.[3] Dawson spent two years back at Bury after being released by Liverpool but was then released on completion of his scholarship due to mutual consent.[3]

Wigan Athletic

[edit]

In June 2011, Dawson signed his first professional contract with Premier League side Wigan Athletic, a one-year deal, following a successful trial.[3] In the summer of 2012, Dawson was offered a new month-to-month contract. In August 2012, he joined Football League Two side Accrington Stanley on loan along with Ryan Watson.[4] Dawson made his professional debut for the club in a 1–0 defeat to Carlisle United in the Football League Cup, coming on as a substitute for Luke Clark.[5] At the end of the month Dawson moved back to Wigan after making one appearance. In November 2012, Dawson asked to be released from his contract having been frustrated at the lack of first-team opportunities and the chance to move out on loan, a move he would later regret.[6]

Non league
