Christopher Michael Dunn (born 23 October 1987 in Brentwood, England) is an English football goalkeeper, who plays for Championship club Coventry City.

Career

Dunn started his career in the Milton Keynes Dons centre of excellence before Northampton Town took over his scholarship in the summer of 2005. After a year playing youth and reserve football, Dunn was made a squad number for the 2006–07 season by then manager Stuart Gray. For the following two seasons, Dunn was understudy to Mark Bunn. On 3 May 2008, Dunn was given the opportunity to make his début in the last game of the 2007–08 season to gain first-team experience. The game was at home to Tranmere Rovers and Northampton Town won 2–1.^[1]

Bunn was sold near the end of the 2008 summer transfer window to Blackburn Rovers, which stopped Stuart Gray from signing a new goalkeeper and meant Dunn was selected as first choice for the forthcoming season.^[2] After spending the 2008–09 season in and out of the team, Dunn signed a new two-year contract on 11 May 2009.^[3] During the 2009–10 season, Dunn was the regular goalkeeper and went on a run of five clean sheets in a row without conceding a goal in 524 minutes. This took him to third place in the record number of minutes without conceding a goal for Northampton Town behind Alan Starling and Len Hammond.^[4]

On 30 June 2011, Coventry City confirmed the signing of Chris Dunn on a three-year contract; as Dunn is under 24, an undisclosed fee was agreed between the two clubs.^[5] He made his debut for the club on 10 September 2011, as a half-time substitute for Joe Murphy in a 2–0 win against Derby County.^[6]
