Finn Cousin-Dawson

Finn Cousin-Dawson (born 4 July 2002) is a professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for National League North club Buxton. Born in England, he represented Northern Ireland at under-21 youth level.

Born in Stockton-on-Tees, Cousin-Dawson began his career with the Bradford City youth team. He moved on loan to Brighouse Town in November 2019, being recalled in January 2020, ahead of Bradford City's FA Youth Cup game against Chelsea. He turned professional in July 2020, signing a one-year contract.

He made his senior debut for Bradford City on 8 September 2020, in the EFL Trophy. In November 2020 he was one of a number of young Bradford City players playing in the first team who were praised by manager Stuart McCall. In December 2020 he spoke about the impact of coronavirus on football, including lack of fans at stadiums.

In January 2021 he signed a new contract with the club, running until summer 2024. In February 2021 he was dropped from the starting line-up after making 9 consecutive starts, with club joint manager Mark Trueman saying that Cousin-Dawson would help him cope with the mental and physical stress of first-team football. In April 2021 club joint manager Conor Sellars said he was happy for young players like Cousin-Dawson and Kian Scales to be playing regular first team football.

At the start of the 2021–22 season, it was announced that Cousin-Dawson would start the club's second game of the season, an EFL Cup game away to Nottingham Forest. He later said that his skills were improving, due in part to the expected standards of new manager Derek Adams.

In July 2022 he signed on loan for Spennymoor Town. Cousin-Dawson said that the loan was the "best thing" for him so that he could get regular playing time again. He was recalled by Bradford City in January 2023, with a view to making a further loan move. On 2 February, Cousin-Dawson returned to the National League North on an initial one-month loan deal with Blyth Spartans. Later that month the loan was extended until the end of the season.

In July 2023, he returned on loan to Blyth Spartans for the 2023–24 season.

He was released by Bradford City at the end of the 2023–24 season.
