Early life
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
Dobson started his career as a youth player at Arsenal aged 8 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]
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]
On 16 July 2017, it was announced Dobson had signed for Eredivisie side Sparta Rotterdam for an undisclosed fee.[9] He re-joined Walsall on a two-and-a-half-year contract during the 2017–18 January transfer window.[10]
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] until 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]
Dobson joined Charlton Athletic on 1 July 2021, signing a two-year deal with the club.[16]
