Career

Dunleavy joined Wolverhampton Wanderers academy in October 2006, rejecting the chance to join clubs such as Manchester United and Celtic, despite a very strong academic record.

In January 2011 he headed for a loan spell at League Two side Barnet, [3] where he made his professional debut in a game against Southend. [4] He made three appearances for the Bees as they battled relegation from the Football League before suffering ligament damage during training that ended his season. [5]

He left Wolves in Summer 2011 after not being offered an extension to his contract. [6] In late August 2011, Dunleavy joined Major League Soccer club Vancouver Whitecaps on trial until 7 September 2011. [7]

In January 2012, Dunleavy joined Cork City where he captained the club for a number of seasons, however injuries curtailed most of his likely appearances. [8]

Dunleavy signed for Sligo Rovers in December 2018 ahead of the 2019 campaign. [9]
