One of the highlights of his time at Griffin Park was scoring the opening goal in the 2001 LDV Vans Trophy Final against Portuguese Vale at the Millennium Stadium. He joined Reading on loan in the 2005-2006 season. At the end of the season, Dobson was released by Brentford and subsequently signed for on 6 June 2006.
He was released by the Saddlers on 7 May 2008.
Due to a succession of knee injuries Dobson retired from football following the advice of a specialist. One of Dobson"s strengths was his versatility.
He could play at right back, central midfield, and central defence as required. Dobson now runs his own business called Flexercise which specialises in personal training and sports massaging therapy.
