Playing career

Hednesford Town

Dyer began his career with Hednesford Town, where after coming through the youth system, he eventually progressed to become the club's first team captain.

Forest Green Rovers

He joined Forest Green Rovers in May 2010 on a one-year deal.[2][3] However he suffered an ankle injury in September 2010 that ruled him out temporarily.[4] He scored five goals in 32 games in the 2010–11 season for Forest Green.

Mansfield Town

Dyer then joined Mansfield Town in August 2011, with his £6,000 compensation fee being paid by Mansfield Town's fundraising group the 12th Stag.[5] He scored nine goals in 47 appearances in the 2011–12 season.

He was limited to one appearance in the 2012–13 campaign after picking up a cruciate knee ligament injury,[6] as the "Stags" won promotion to the Football League as champions of the Conference Premier. He made his Football League debut on 3 August 2013, starting in a 2–0 defeat to Scunthorpe United.[7]

Hereford United (loan)

On 11 October 2013, he joined Hereford United on a one-month loan deal.[8] After three seasons with Mansfield he was released at the end of the 2013–14 season.[9]
