[edit] Biography

Dickson was born in Saltash, Cornwall and is a product of the Plymouth Argyle youth system, turning professional in May 2004. He made his league debut on October 16, 2004, as a second-half substitute for David Worrell in the 2-1 defeat at home to Wigan Athletic.

He struggled with injury and in August 2006, trained with Scottish Premier League club Motherwell and played once in a friendly against an American college side^[1] with a view to a loan move, but the deal fell through due to his lack of first team experience.

He joined Torquay United on loan in January 2007 until the end of the season, his Plymouth manager Ian Holloway explaining that the loan spell would allow Dickson to increase his fitness before returning to Plymouth's squad for the following season^[2]. He made his Torquay debut on January 13, 2007, playing in the 2-2 draw at home to Bury. Dickson scored once in three games for Torquay before returning to Argyle with an injury.

On March 22, 2007, Dickson returned to Torquay on loan until the end of the season. On November 16, 2007, Dickson Joined Brentford on loan initially for one month. Brentford signed Dickson on a permanent deal on January 11, 2007, beating off competition from Darlington and Torquay.

Dickson's 2007-2008 season did not start particularly well and as a result was shipped off to Griffin Park to spend a month with Brentford, a move which became permanent in January 2008. After his move he was almost ever present, making 27 appearances all in all.
