Born in England, he represents Northern Ireland at youth international level.

Club career

Born in Stockton-on-Tees,[1] Cousin-Dawson began his career with the Bradford City youth team. He moved on loan to Brighouse Town in November 2019,[2] being recalled in January 2020,[3][4] ahead of Bradford City's FA Youth Cup game against Chelsea.[5] He turned professional in July 2020, signing a one-year contract.[6]

He made his senior debut for Bradford City on 8 September 2020, in the EFL Trophy.[7][8][9] 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.[10] In December 2020 he spoke about the impact of coronavirus on football, including lack of fans at stadiums.[11]

In January 2021 he signed a new contract with the club, running until summer 2024.[12][13] 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.[14] 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.[15]

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.[16][17] He later said that his skills were improving, due in part to the expected standards of new manager Derek Adams.[18]

In July 2022 he signed on loan for Spennymoor Town.[19] Cousin-Dawson said that the loan was the "best thing" for him so that he could get regular playing time again.[20] He was recalled by Bradford City in January 2023, with a view to making a further loan move.[21] On 2 February, Cousin-Dawson returned to the National League North on an initial one-month loan deal with Blyth Spartans.[22][23] Later that month the loan was extended until the end of the season.[24]

In July 2023, he returned on loan to Blyth Spartans for the 2023–24 season.[25]

International career

In March 2021 Cousin-Dawson was called-up to a training camp with the Northern Ireland under-21 team.[26] He left early in order to return to Bradford City for a match.[27] He received a second call up in May 2021.[28] He made his under-21 international debut in June 2021 in a friendly against Scotland,[29][30] and received a further call-up in August 2021.[30][31]

In October 2021 Bradford City boss Derek Adams said that Cousin-Dawson's international experience was helping him mature as a player.[32] He made two appearances for the under-21s that month.[33] In November 2021 he made a further appearance, his first full international match.[34]

He was recalled by Northern Ireland under-21s in March 2022.[35] Club manager Mark Hughes said it was an opportunity for the player to impress him.[36] Cousin-Dawson made one appearance, playing 90 minutes in a friendly against France, having not played in the earlier Under-21 Euro Qualifier against Slovakia.[37]

Playing style

Primarily a centre-back, Cousin-Dawson has also played a right-back and was used as a holding midfielder for the first time on 6 October 2020 in the EFL Trophy, with Bradford City manager Stuart McCall suggesting it could become his permanent new position.[38]
