Football career

Southampton

Dyer was born in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, and joined the Southampton F.C. Academy as a teenager. He was a member of Southampton's youth team that reached the final of the FA Youth Cup in 2005, losing on aggregate to Ipswich Town.

In late 2005 he enjoyed a successful loan spell at Burnley, where he scored two goals in five appearances before being recalled. On 24 July 2008, after a long time of uncertainty, he signed a new three year deal at Southampton, keeping him there until 2011.He scored his first league goal for Southampton in a 3–2 defeat against Watford in September 2007.[1] This took his Southampton goal tally up to three, having already scored in League Cup games against Southend[2] and Yeovil.[3] In September 2008 he joined Sheffield United on loan until December, with the option of a permanent deal in January 2009. The move was part of a loan swap deal, with Jordan Robertson joining Southampton for the same duration.[4]

Dyer made his first appearance for the Blades the next day, as a late substitute in a 2–1 victory over Watford.[5] He was unable to break into the team however and notched up less than thirty minutes in a Blades shirt over the next three months.[6] He did not make a first team start until 20 December, repaying his selection by scoring his first goal for the club in a 2–2 draw with Palace.[7][8]

Swansea City

Dyer returned to Southampton following the end of his three month loan spell and was immediately loaned out again, this time to Swansea City until the end of the 2008–09 season.[9] He impressed in his debut in a 2-0 win at home to Reading. On 24 January, he scored in the FA Cup against Southampton's arch rivals Portsmouth which saw the cup-holders crash out.[10]

On 5 April 2009, Dyer scored the opening goal for Swansea against their arch rivals Cardiff City.[11]

On 2 June 2009, Dyer joined Swansea City on a permanent basis after the Welsh side agreed a £400,000 fee with Southampton.[12] He made his debut in the opening game of the 2009–10 season against Leicester City, playing a full 90 minutes. He scored his first Swansea goal on 26 September 2009 which was the winning goal against Sheffield United. On 7 November 2009, Dyer scored his second goal in two games against his club's bitter rivals Cardiff City. His header from close range opened the scoring inside 10 minutes, which helped The Swans claim a 3–2 victory in a pulsating local derby.

Dyer started the 2010–11 season well after superb performances and one goal against Preston in Brendan Rodgers' first home game in charge in a 4–0 rout. His fine form was sustained throughout the campaign, and he was eventually named Swansea City Supporters' Player of the Year 2010/11[13].

Conviction for theft

On 9 March 2008, Dyer and team-mate Bradley Wright-Phillips were accused of stealing money, mobile phones and other items from bar staff at Bar Bluu in Southsea in the early hours of 28 February 2008. CCTV footage taken at the time appeared to show a theft taking place.[14] The pair were arrested on 25 March over the theft and were questioned at a Portsmouth police station.[15] They were formally charged with burglary on 17 June, to appear before Portsmouth magistrates on 8 July 2008.[16] Dyer pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 60 hours community service. He was also ordered to pay compensation to his victims, along with costs.[17]
