Career

Dunleavy joined Wolverhampton Wanderers academy in October 2006, rejecting the chance to join clubs such as Manchester United and Celtic, despite a very strong academic record.[1] He signed a two-year professional contract near the end of the 2008–09 season during which the club were promoted to the Premier League.[2]

In January 2011 he headed for a loan spell at League Two side Barnet,[3] where he made his professional debut in a game against Southend.[4] He made three appearances for the Bees as they battled relegation from the Football League before suffering ligament damage during training that ended his season.[5]

He left Wolves in Summer 2011 after not being offered an extension to his contract.[6] In late August 2011, Dunleavy joined Major League Soccer club Vancouver Whitecaps on trial until 7 September 2011.[7]

In January 2012, Dunleavy joined Cork City where he captained the club for a number of seasons, however injuries curtailed most of his likely appearances.[8]

Dunleavy signed for Sligo Rovers in December 2018 ahead of the 2019 campaign.[9]
