Ryan Anthony Dickson (born 14 December 1986) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for Yeovil Town. Dickson began his career at Plymouth Argyle, before moving to Brentford, Southampton, Colchester United, Crawley Town and Yeovil Town. He has appeared on loan for Torquay United on two occasions, Brentford, Yeovil Town, Leyton Orient and Bradford City.
Born in Saltash, Cornwall, Dickson is a product of the Plymouth Argyle youth system, turning professional in May 2004. He made his league debut on 16 October 2004, as a second-half substitute for David Worrell in a 2–1 home defeat to Wigan Athletic. His first senior start came just three days later as Plymouth won on the road against Rotherham United.
Dickson made no first-team appearances through the 2005–06 season having struggled to overcome injury problems. In August 2006, he trained with Scottish Premier League club Motherwell with a view to a loan move, but the deal eventually fell through. He had to wait until 30 December 2006 for his next first-team experience with the Pilgrims, albeit as a substitute in the 90th minute against Derby County. He played his final league game for the club in his next match against Southampton, coming on in the 80th minute in a 1–1 draw on New Year's Day 2007.
