Career
Born in Street Ives, Cambridgeshire, Dawkin has represented Wales at under-17 and 19 levels. Although born in England, he qualifies to play for Wales through his mother:
"My mum was born in Wales, though she only lived there for a couple of years because my grandad was in the Royal Air Force."
He made his professional debut for Norwich City aged 17, on 6 October 2009, in a match against Gillingham in the Football League Trophy. Dawkin began a one-month loan spell with Conference National side Cambridge United on 9 March 2012.

After a spell with Cambridge City, Dawkin joined Southern Premier Division side Dunstable Town in the summer of 2014 following their promotion the previous season. Dawkin expressed his strengths as a football player as "running with the ball and dribbling", adding "I"m nowhere near as good as him but I"d like to model myself on Cristiano Ronaldo - I"d like to try and play like him.".
