James William Dunne (born 18 September 1989) is an English professional footballer who most recently played for Cambridge United as a midfielder.
Dunne started his career at Wimbledon's youth academy, before moving to Arsenal in 2004. Dunne spent four years progressing through the ranks at Arsenal, and was loaned out to Nottingham Forest in October 2008. He returned to Arsenal having made no first-team appearances for Forest, and was released by the North London side at the end of 2008–09 season. He joined Exeter City in July 2009, and went on to make over 100 appearances for the club over three seasons. In May 2012, Dunne joined League One club Stevenage, and was loaned to Scottish Premier League side St Johnstone. After winning the Scottish Cup with the Saints, he signed with Portsmouth on 24 June 2014. He then signed for Dagenham and Redbridge FC on 28 October 2015. He left Portsmouth by mutual consent and was subsequently signed by Cambridge United on 14 January 2016
Born in Farnborough, London, Dunne began his career in the Wimbledon academy. Dunne spent six years at Wimbledon, before moving to Arsenal, along with Kieran Gibbs and Abu Ogogo, when Wimbledon disbanded in 2004 and relocated to Milton Keynes. He played in both defensive midfield and right midfield for Arsenal's U18s on their way to the FA Youth Cup semi-final during the 2006–07 season, as well as playing regularly for the reserves. After impressing while progressing through the youth ranks, Dunne signed a professional contract with Arsenal on 20 September 2007. In October 2008, Dunne went on trial with Nottingham Forest, playing for the reserve side in a 2–1 win over Shrewsbury Town. He signed for Nottingham Forest on loan shortly after, until January 2009, with a view to a permanent move. However, he made no first-team appearances during the three-month loan spell, and returned to Arsenal in January 2009. On his return to Arsenal, Dunne was told his contract would not be renewed when it expired in May 2009, and the club encouraged him to look for a new club. He trialled with Charlton Athletic in February 2009, although no transfer materialised. Dunne was released by Arsenal at the end of 2008–09 season, having made no first-team appearances for the club.
