A product of the youth academy at Manchester City, Dickson signed professional forms in July 2000.

He looked set for a long career but was surprisingly allowed by City manager Kevin Keegan to join Preston North End in January for a fee of £300,000 rising to £500,000 depending on appearances.
His Preston contract was extended to June 2008 in November 2004.
After a loan spell, Dickson joined Norwich City in January 2006 with a contract to June 2009.
He joined Fulham in August 2008 with a three-year contract that was extended to June 2014 in September 2010.
Dickson joined Blackburn Rovers in August 2012 with a four-year contract but was made available for transfer in May 2014 before his contract was cancelled in July 2014.
