Joey Dawson, born on 30 May 2003 (age 23), is an English striker whose career has run through Scunthorpe United and Celtic, with the Glasgow spell doing most of the shaping so far.
He joined Celtic from Scunthorpe in July 2021, arriving as a young forward with a clear development path ahead of him. His first-team record at Celtic was brief but tangible: one league appearance in the 2021-22 season.
Dawson left Celtic in July 2025, returning to Scunthorpe United. That made his career arc a neat one, if not an especially expansive one: out of Scunthorpe, into Celtic, then back again.
He remains primarily a striker, and his senior profile is still largely framed by that Celtic period rather than by a long run of appearances elsewhere.
