Early career

Born in Wolverhampton, Dunkley joined Crewe Alexandra's youth setup in 2006, aged 14. [3] He made his senior debut while on a work experience loan at Hednesford Town in 2010.

In the 2010 summer, Dunkley was released by Crewe, and joined Hednesford permanently. After two years acting as a starter, he moved to Conference Premier side Kidderminster Harriers in June 2012, [4] with the latter having to pay a £5,000 plus add-ons fee after a dispute in the tribunal was held. [5]

Oxford United

On 20 November 2014 Dunkley joined Oxford United on loan until the end of the season, with Sam Long moving in the opposite direction, and joined The Us permanently in January for an undisclosed fee. [6] He made his professional debut on 20 December 2014, coming on as a 31st-minute substitute in a 1–1 away draw against Hartlepool United. [7] He scored his first goal in a 4–1 away victory in League Two over Exeter City on 23 February 2016. [8] In April 2016 the "unfortunate" Dunkley scored an own goal in the final of the Football League Trophy against Barnsley at Wembley Stadium, a match which Barnsley won 3–2. [9] On 7 May 2016, Dunkley scored the first goal in the final game of the 2015–16 season against Wycombe Wanderers, a game which United won 3–0 to secure promotion to League One. [10]

[12] He would eventually make his debut almost 4 months after joining the club in a 2-1 defeat against Barnsley on 12 December 2020. [13] He was awarded the clubs player for the month for December, the first month after breaking into the team. [14] His first goal for the club was an equaliser against Cheltenham Town on 30 October 2021. [15] The following month would see a great turn of form, scoring again, against Accrington Stanley and being a constant threat in both boxes, as well as winning the clubs player of the month for November.
