Career

West Bromwich Albion

A product of the West Bromwich Albion youth system, Dyer initially struggled to break into the first team. He made his Albion debut in a 3–1 League Cup defeat away at Wigan Athletic on 2 October, 2002, [cite news|date=2002-10-02 |url=http://www.wba.premiumtv.co.uk/page/MatchReport/0,,10366~21172,00.html |title=Wigan Athletic vs WBA |publisher=West Bromwich Albion F.C. |accessdate=2008-01-23] but it was the only first team match he played in 2002–03. In September 2003 he spent a month on loan to Kidderminster Harriers.

Dyer's exciting and pacey substitute appearances often inspired the team, and earned him a new contract in the summer of 2004. [cite news
