Footballing career

Dawes was born in Liverpool, and played for Everton at schoolboy level before moving to Liverpool. After being released from Liverpool at 19 he then moved to Canada to play for Calgary Storm. Upon returning to Britain, he played for non-league clubs including Lancaster City and Marine. Whilst playing non league football he returned to former club Liverpool FC as an academy coach and spent ten years there before moving to Malta where he was head coach at Floriana. He then coached at Shrewsbury Town, and became head coach at Bangor City in November 2016.[1]

He left Bangor in 2017, after just four months at the club,[2] and later the same year joined Blackpool as first team coach. In August 2020, he moved to Tranmere Rovers as assistant to Mike Jackson, and took over as caretaker manager when Jackson was sacked in November 2020.[3] In his five games in charge, he led the club to four wins, including beating League One team, Accrington Stanley in the FA Cup,[4] and a penalty shootout victory against Wigan Athletic in the EFL Trophy and was nominated as League Two Manager of the Month for November 2020.

Following Keith Hill's appointment as permanent manager of Tranmere Rovers, Dawes was installed as his assistant to ensure "consistency and continuity" according to Hill. Dawes was put back in charge of the team after Hill was dismissed on 11 May 2021.[5]
