Career

Dodd was born in Kirkham, Lancashire, and joined Blackpool at under-10 level.[2] He progressed through the youth teams & sign a two-year scholarship in 2009 along with seven other youngsters.[2] During the 2010–11 season he appeared on the bench in Blackpool's FA Cup tie against Southampton but remained an unused substitute.[3] He signed a full-time professional contract in May 2011 following the completion of his scholarship.[4] A feat he admits would have been difficult without the guidance of Head of Youth Gary Parkinson.[4]

Blackpool allowed Dodd to join Conference North side Altrincham on a month's loan deal.[5] On 3 December 2011, he made his Conference debut at Halifax Town and started his first game, at left-back, on Boxing Day at home to Droylsden.[1] He departed Altrincham on 7 January 2012 having made five league appearances – three of which were starts.[1]

Upon his return to Blackpool he was again loaned out, this time to Scottish club Ayr United.[6] He made his debut for the club in goalless draw against Falkirk in a First Division fixture.[7] Dodd entered the match as 60th-minute substitute, replacing Tam McManus.[8] Before the following match against Hamilton Academical he was joined at club by Blackpool teammate Liam Tomsett who had also agreed a five-month loan.[9] On 21 January 2012, Dodd made his home debut for Ayr at Somerset Park, starting, in a 2–2 draw.[10] He marked the occasion with his first senior competitive goal scoring a free kick from 30-yards, striking the ball with his left foot and curling it into the top right hand corner of the net.[11]

In November 2015 he joined Bamber Bridge.[12]

In May 2019 he joined FC United of Manchester.[13]
