Career

Early career

Dawson would play for his school team and gradually went on to play for Goa U-16 in the Subroto Cup. It was then that he realised that he could continue playing football at the highest level. During his schooling days, his parents had no clue about his playing football, as he knew that they would never encourage him to continue. It was only when he wanted to play for the state team and next for Fransa-Pax FC that his parents came to know about it. To his fortune, they let him play for the state team, and since then there has been no looking back.

Then he represented Salgaocar youth team through various championships, eventually representing his state at the U-19 national championship and was captain for the U-21 Goa side for the final of Dutta Trophy in 2009-10, which his team won thanks to a solitary goal from him, defeating hosts Haryana.
