Sounds like we may have a new winger with some recent Conference experience. For a youngster he has had had loads of experience at various levels.
Adam Dawson Born and raised in Bury, 10 April 1992 he attended Derby High School in the town. Dawson joined Liverpool from Bury at the age of 14 for a reported £100,000, having turned down an offer from Manchester City. Dawson spent two years back at Bury after being released by Liverpool but was then released on completion of his scholarship due to mutual consent
In June 2011, Dawson signed his first professional contract with Premier League side Wigan Athletic, a one-year deal, following a successful trial. In the summer of 2012, Dawson was offered a new month-to-month contract. In August 2012, he joined Football League Two side Accrington Stanley on loan. Dawson made his professional debut for the club in a 1–0 defeat to Carlisle United in the Football League Cup, coming on as a substitute. At the end of the month Dawson moved back to Wigan after making one appearance. In November 2012, Dawson asked to be released from his contract having been frustrated at the lack of first-team opportunities and the chance to move out on loan, a move he would later regret.
Dawson returned to football signing for North West Counties Football League Premier Division side Bacup Borough in November 2012. He made his debut for the club in the 1–0 home win against AFC Liverpool, in what proved to be his only appearance for the club. A week later, Dawson moved up the divisions to sign for Northern Premier League Premier Division side FC United of Manchester. Dawson made his debut the following day as a substitute in a 4–0 defeat to Rushall Olympic. Dawson went on to make four appearances for FC United, with his final appearance coming in a 1–0 win over Grantham Town in December 2012. In March 2013, Dawson was on the move again joining Conference Premier side Barrow on non-contract terms. His debut for the Bluebirds came in a 1–0 win over Dartford. Dawson went on to make nine appearances for Barrow but he couldn't stop the side from relegation to the Conference North at the end of the season. He was invited to stay at Barrow and join the squad in pre-season, however, he declined due to interest from Macclesfield Town, Bolton Wanderers, Luton Town, Morecambe, Hyde and Forest Green Rovers. In July 2013, Dawson joined NWCFL First Division side Nelson after turning down a contract from Barrow. He made a total of six league appearances for the Admirals scoring once against Holker Old Boys.
In October 2013, after leaving Nelson, Dawson returned to training with Barrow, but a move didn't materialise. He also spent time training with Scottish Championship side Dundee, but a move was scuppered due to a registration issue. In the same month, Dawson signed for Leicester City having spent a period on trial with the club.In May 2014, Dawson was offered a new contract for the following season. On 7 August 2014, Dawson joined Notts County on a month-long loan. He made his debut on 9 August 2014 during County's 1–1 opening day draw with Preston North End, replacing Garry Thompson in the 35th minute. Dawson returned to Leicester City at end of months loan at Notts County, making 3 appearances in all competitions. On 3 October 2014, Dawson joined Conference Premier side Nuneaton Town on a month long loan deal, heading straight into the squad for their fixture against Lincoln the next day, where Dawson had a debut to remember, scoring from 30 yards to give Nuneaton a 2–1 win. On 27 November 2014, Dawson re-joined Nuneaton Town for a second loan spell with the Conference Premier side, joining up with fellow Leicester City loanees, Simonas Stankevičius and Marcel Barrington.Dawson made his second Nuneaton debut in the 3–2 victory over Chester on 29 November, providing assists for 2 goals
