Dawson, arrived at Plainmoor from Gloucester City with a wealth of Football League experience, having made over 200 senior appearances for Yeovil Town, Cheltenham Town and Forest Green Rovers.

After beginning his career in his native Ireland with Sporting Fingal and Shelbourne, Dawson’s first steps in the EFL saw him play a crucial role in Yeovil’s successful League One run-in, with Kevin going on to play in the 2012/13 Play-Off final, as The Glovers secured Championship football following a 2-1 win over Brentford at Wembley.

Although the second tier proved a tough test for a Yeovil side competing at that level for the first time in their history, the midfielder adjusted to the rise in standard well, making 35 appearances that season. Remaining with Huish Park club for a further three seasons thereafter, two years as a regular at Cheltenham followed, before a brief spell at League Two side Forest Green Rovers preceded another move across Gloucestershire, signing for Gloucester City in 2020.
