Career
Born in Northallerton, North Yorkshire, Dawson is a defender who joined Hull City on 16 May 2003 on a free transfer from Scunthorpe United. He is the elder brother of Michael Dawson (currently at Tottenham Hotspur) and Kevin Dawson (formerly of Chesterfield). Like his brothers, Andy started his professional career at Nottingham Forest, but he made only one senior appearance for them before moving to Scunthorpe.
After moving to Hull City, he was manager Peter Taylor's first choice at left-back during the two promotion seasons 2003–04 and 2004–05, and played regularly in the Championship in 2005–06 until picking up an injury. He is renowned for his long-range shots, particularly from free-kicks.[2][3][4][5]
He was named Hull City's Player Of The Year in the 2006–07 season.[2]
Along with teammates Ian Ashbee, Boaz Myhill and Ryan France he joins an elite band of players to have taken their club up through four divisions.[6]
In 2008 Dawson completed Soccer AM's Crossbar Challenge.
On 3 January 2011, Dawson agreed a one-year contract extension which earns him a testimonial game.[7]
On 7 April 2012 Dawson took over the role of captain from the injured Jack Hobbs for the remainder of the 2011–12 season.[8]
