Life and career
Dodds was born in
Dodds made his debut in open-age football on 9 October 2018 when he started the 3–1 defeat away to Walsall in the EFL Trophy.[9][10] When others of his group received professional contracts in 2019, he was offered a third scholarship year,[11] but he did sign his first professional deal a year later.[12] Although the club's strength at right back blocked his progress into the first team, he caught the eye of manager Neil Warnock, who said "I like Doddsy the right-back, I think he'll make a good living".[3] He was a regular for the under-23s in 2020–21 – according to TeessideLive, he "has proven himself an exciting prospect with the ability to go both forward and defend adequately"[13] – and the club took up its option to extend his contract.[14]
After his 2021–22 season was disrupted by injury, Dodds signed a contract extension in June 2022.[15] He and other academy products were used in pre-season friendlies and were included in the squad for the first-team's Portugal training camp, but manager Chris Wilder made it clear that he did not yet see them as "players who know how to win at the top end of the Championship."[16][17] Dodds was one of several fringe players to make their senior debuts in Middlesbrough's EFL Cup first round defeat to Barnsley on 10 August 2022; he came on after 73 minutes and made "a couple of driving runs ... and one important late tackle".[18]
Dodds joined
On 11 January 2023, Dodds signed a permanent deal with League Two side Hartlepool United.[24] On 4 February 2023, Dodds scored his first Hartlepool goal which was an 88th minute winner in a 1–0 win at Doncaster Rovers.[25] Early in the 2023–24 season, Dodds sustained an injury to his ACL with the club expecting Dodds to be unavailable for a year.[26]
