[edit] Career
[edit] Arsenal
Born in Farnborough, London, Dunne began his career in the Wimbledon academy but moved to Arsenal along with Kieran Gibbs and Abu Ogogo when Wimbledon disbanded in 2004 and became Milton Keynes Dons. He played in the defensive midfield or right midfield for Arsenal's U18 on their way to FA Youth Cup semi-final in 2006/2007 plus many reserves matches.[3] He signed his professional contract with Arsenal on 20 September 2007,[4][5] but failed to make a first team appearance for them. After a trial,[6] he signed for Nottingham Forest on loan in October 2008 until January 2009, with a view to a permanent move.[7] He had a trial with Charlton Athletic in February.[8]
[edit] Exeter City
He was released by Arsenal at the end of 2008–09 season[9] and after impressing during pre-season training, Dunne signed for Exeter City in July[10] and made his debut against Gillingham.[11]
