He became an apprentice in 1972 and later signed professional terms with Preston North End but was released in 1974 without making a first team appearance.[2] He then joined nearby Southport.[3][4]

In June 1977, Southport sold Dewsnip's contract to the Fort Lauderdale Strikers of the North American Soccer League for £11,000.[5] In June 1978, the Strikers sent Dewsnip, Andy Rolland and the number one selection in the 1980 NASL Draft to the Los Angeles Aztecs in exchange for George Best.[6] He spent a season and a half in Los Angeles before being sent to the Atlanta Chiefs. He finished the 1979 season in Atlanta, then played for the Columbus Magic of the American Soccer League in 1980. That fall, he signed with the Cleveland Force of the Major Indoor Soccer League.
