Dickinson made his first-class debut for Glamorgan in 1934 against Cambridge University. From 1934 to 1935, he made 7 first-class appearances, with his final first-class appearance for the county coming against Warwickshire in the 1935 County Championship.[1] In his 7 first-class matches, he scored 37 runs at a batting average of 5.28, with a high score of 14*.
