Oliver was born in Derby and joined Sheffield United as a trainee. Dean was released by Derby County when he was a youngster prior to signing with Sheffield United. Whilst at United he was in need of first team experience he was loaned to Torquay United on March 1, 2007.^[1] His league debut came on March 10, 2007 when he replaced Lee Thorpe as a late substitute in the 3-0 win at home to Wycombe Wanderers. However, this was his only appearance for Torquay before being recalled by Sheffield United on April 24, 2007, with Torquay already relegated to the Conference National.
