Christopher Michael Dunn (born 23 October 1987) is an English football goalkeeper, who currently plays for Championship side Yeovil Town.
Career
Dunn started his career at the Northampton Town centre of excellence in January 2005. After a year playing youth and reserve football, Dunn was made a squad number as cover for Lee Harper in the 2005-06 season by then manager Colin Calderwood, and again in the 2006–07 season by 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.[2]
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.[3] After spending the 2008–09 season in and out of the team, Dunn signed a new two-year contract on 11 May 2009.[4] 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.[5] In February that season Dunn was nominated for the PFA League 2 Player of the Month award.
During the 2010-11 season Dunn played in Northampton Town's third round Carling Cup win against Liverpool at Anfield. Later that season, Dunn was awarded the PFA Fans Player of the Month for December after consecutive clean sheets and impressive performances
On 30 June 2011, Coventry City confirmed the signing of Chris Dunn on a three-year contract; as Dunn was under 24, an undisclosed fee was agreed between the two clubs.[6] He made his début for the club on 10 September 2011, as a half-time substitute for Joe Murphy in a 2–0 win against Derby County.[7] He also made another sub appearance in the 1–0 win over Nottingham Forest. His first competitive appearance for the Sky Blues was in the 2–1 FA Cup defeat to Southampton.
On 16 August 2013, Dunn had his contract at Coventry City terminated by mutual consent.[8]
On 17 August 2013, Dunn signed for Football League Championship side Yeovil Town on a one year contract, to be reunited with manager Gary Johnson whom he worked under at Northampton Town.[9] Dunn made his Yeovil debut in their 2–1 defeat against Doncaster Rovers, on 22 November 2013.[10]
