Career

Dykes played youth football with Rangers, signing a contract until the summer of 2016. [2] He was released upon the expiration of his contract in May that year. [3]

Dykes then signed for fellow Scottish Premiership side Ross County on 22 July 2016. [1] [4] He made his professional debut in a Highland derby against Inverness CT on 28 April 2017. [5]

Having had limited first team opportunities at Ross County, Dykes joined League One club Stranraer in January 2018 on a development loan for the rest of the 2017–18 season. [6]

Dykes left Ross County in January 2019 and signed for Greenock Morton. [7] Dykes joined Stenhousemuir on loan before joining Cumbernauld Colts in February 2020. [8]

Dykes agreed a move to West of Scotland team St Cadoc's in May 2020 [9] before moving to Pollok two years later. [10] He made his debut at home to Hurlford United in March, and scored his first goal from the penalty spot against Troon F.C. in a 2-1 win in April. [11]

In October 2022, Pollok announced that Dykes had undergone treatment following a cancer diagnosis, triggering a wave of support from his former clubs and the wider footballing world. [12] [13] [14]
