Career
Dickinson was born in Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham.[2] He started his career with Darlington's youth system in 2008 and was the youth team top scorer in the 2011–12 season.[3] Following Darlington's relegation from the Conference Premier he joined York City in July 2012, with the newly promoted League Two club taking over the second year of his scholarship.[3] While still a trainee with York he went to Northern League Division Two club Northallerton Town on loan during December 2012, making his debut as a 60th minute substitute for Carl Chillingsworth in a 2–0 defeat away to Crook Town on 29 December.[4] He made one more outing as a substitute before returning to York with two Northallerton appearances to his name.[5][6]
Dickinson signed a one-year professional contract with York in June 2013 and rejoined Northallerton one a one-month loan during September 2013.[7][8][9] He made his second debut for the club in a 3–0 away win over Ryton & Crawcrook Albion on 14 September 2013,[10] and scored his first career goal with an early equaliser in Northallerton's 4–2 home defeat to Chester-le-Street Town on 28 September.[11] After scoring once in six appearances Northallerton wanted to extend Dickinson's loan once it expired, but York manager Nigel Worthington preferred to loan him to a club in a higher division.[9] He then joined Northern Premier League Premier Division side Whitby Town on a one-month loan on 1 November 2013.[12] His debut came a day later as a 69th-minute substitute for Steven Snaith in a 2–1 away win over Stamford.[12][13] Dickinson made his only start for Whitby against Brigg Town in a Northern Premier League Challenge Cup match that ended in a 6–5 penalty shoot-out defeat following a 0–0 draw after extra time,[14] and finished the loan with four appearances.[13] He made his debut for York as a 90th-minute substitute for Ryan Bowman in a 4–0 away win over Plymouth Argyle on 15 February 2014.[15] After making two appearances for the club he was released in May 2014.[15][16]
Dickinson signed for Conference North club Boston United ahead of their opening match of the 2014–15 season on 9 August 2014,[17] and scored in this match as his new team beat Barrow 2–1 at home.[18] However, he left the club on 29 August 2014 to find a club closer to his home in the North East, having scored one goal in four appearances for Boston.[18][19] Dickinson signed for Scottish League Two side Annan Athletic in January 2015,[20] making his debut as a 76th-minute substitute for Kieran Brannan in a 3–2 home defeat to Elgin City on 10 January.[21] He made four appearances before being released by Annan in May 2015.[21][22]
