Career

Dunlop, along with his younger brother Ross, signed for Scottish League Two side Stenhousemuir on 22 May 2017. [2] The brothers had played together briefly at Queen's Park [3] [4] before the elder sibling moved on to Dumbarton (where he became captain after the sudden death of Gordon Lennon), [5] then reunited for four seasons at Albion Rovers. [6] [7]

In January 2020, Dunlop signed for Junior side Hurlford United on loan until the end of the season due to work commitments making it difficult to travel to his parent club Peterhead. [8] The move was made permanent that summer, but almost no football was played in that year due to the Covid-19 pandemic in Scotland.

In May 2021, Dunlop signed for West of Scotland Football League side Rossvale as player-assistant manager. [9]

In May 2022 Dunlop was appointed manager of Gartcairn. [10]

He should not be confused with another player of the same name, also a defender but born in 1993, whose clubs included Forfar Athletic, Arbroath and Berwick Rangers. [11]
