Club career

Sheffield Wednesday

Dawson signed his first professional contract for Sheffield Wednesday in April 2013.[4]

In 2014, he moved out on loan twice, to Plymouth Argyle, where he acted as back-up, and Alfreton Town, where he made 17 appearances.

On 6 December 2017, Dawson was sent on an emergency loan deal to Chesterfield, following first-choice keeper Joe Anyon breaking his arm in a 2–0 EFL Trophy defeat to Fleetwood Town the previous day.

At the beginning of the 2018/19 season Sheffield Wednesday boss Jos Luhukay chose Cameron Dawson as Wednesday's number one for the 2018/19 season and dropped former number one Keiren Westwood to the number three spot.

On 9 November 2018 Cameron Dawson managed to get his first clean sheet of the 2018/19 season in a 0–0 draw with Wednesday's city rivals Sheffield United. Dawson made a spectacular penalty save from David Mcgoldrick's penalty and to earn the Owls a point.

In December 2018, after Luhukay was sacked, caretaker manager Lee Bullen dropped Dawson, and reinstalled Keiren Westwood as number one. Dawson did however go on to make several more appearances that season, including the 2–2 away draw against Norwich City, with Keiren Westwood injured.

In January 2020, he signed a new 4 1⁄2 year contract.[5]
