George David Dobson (born 15 November 1997) is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder for Walsall on loan from West Ham United. He is a versatile player who can play in central defensive or midfield positions.
Career
Dobson started his career as a youth player at Arsenal aged 8 before joining West Ham on 28 July 2015.[1] Dobson, aged 17 at the time, was placed straight into the Development squad also known as the club's U21 side and played frequently during the 2015-16 season. At Arsenal, Dobson was played as a centre-back. However, much to the player's delight, West Ham trained him into a central midfielder, often playing in a holding or defensive role. He is a boyhood West Ham United fan and this helped in the decision of joining the club in 2015.[1]
On 29 June 2016, Dobson signed for League One side Walsall on a season-long loan.[2] He made his debut in the EFL Cup in a 2-0 home defeat to Yeovil Town.[3] He started the match before being substituted on the 69th minute. His league debut came on 16 August when he started the match in a 0-2 defeat at Chesterfield.[4]
