Career

Dunk was born in Hammersmith, Greater London.[5] He joined Bromley on 7 August 2009, after being spotted in an under-18 tournament in Germany,[6] following time with AFC Wimbledon.[7] He featured regularly for the club in his debut campaign, and was also selected the club's Player of the Season.[8]

On 7 June 2011, after picking up another Player of the Season award with Bromley,[9] Dunk joined Cambridge United.[10] He renewed his link with the U's on 23 March 2014.[11]

On 9 August 2014, Dunk played his first match in the Football League, starting in a 1–0 home win against Plymouth Argyle.[12] On 8 January 2018, Dunk became Cambridge United's longest serving player after defender Josh Coulson left the club for Leyton Orient.[13] Dunk made his 300th appearance for Cambridge on 13 August 2019 in a League Cup first round tie against Brentford in which Cambridge won on penalties. He made his 300th league appearance against Scunthorpe on 17 October 2020 with United winning 5–0.

On 1 May 2024, the club announced Dunk would be released in the summer at the end of his contract.[14]

Dunk has now retired from professional football. In September 2024, he took up a role with the Professional Footballers' Association's legal team.[15] He ended his career as Cambridge United's fifth all-time appearance maker.[16]
