Career
Club career
Dickson started his career at Erith & Belvedere before moving to Dulwich Hamlet in the summer of 2006. He scored 31 goals in 35 games for Dulwich in the 2006-2007 season. Dickson signed for Charlton Athletic on 12 March 2007 from Dulwich Hamlet for £35,000, signing a two-and-a-half-year deal after scoring twice in a reserve-team game for Charlton.
As he was signed outside the transfer window, he was prevented from making a competitive appearance for Charlton, although he maintained his healthy scoring record for the reserve-team
He made his debut for Charlton against Swindon Town in the League Cup in August 2007. In the first half of the 2007-2008 season, Dickson went out on loan to two League One clubs.
First he joined Crewe Alexandra but failed to score in three games. Crewe declined an option to renew his loan, and he joined Gillingham on loan in September 2007.
His time at Priestfield was far more productive, totalling 11 goals in 14 games, including a hat-trick on his full debut against Luton Town.
This goal haul was sufficient to make him Gillingham"s top scorer that season, even though he was recalled to The Valley in December 2007. He signed a new two-year deal with Charlton in August 2008. He returned to Gillingham for a second loan spell, also of three months, in February 2010.
After an unsuccessful trial at League Two side Stevenage, Dickson joined Nea Salamis Famagusta Football Club on a two-year contract.
After having short term spells at AEL Limassol and Shanghai Dongya Dickson joined League Two side Dagenham & Redbridge on a free transfer. He was selected as part of Ghana"s initial 40-man squad ahead of the African Cup of Nations in 2008, but failed to make the final squad.
He made his debut for the Black Stars in August 2008.
