Charles Dunne (born 13 February 1993) is a professional footballer who plays as a defender for Blackpool.

Club career

Dunne started his youth career at Orpington youth in the Kent League. He played under ex pro Dave Smith. He made 63 appearances scoring 16 goals between 2007–2010. He then came through the ranks at Wycombe Wanderers after joining them in 2010 on youth contract terms, and in September 2011, he signed a two-year professional contract.[3]

The following month he was loaned to Staines Town until the end of the season, on a youth contract.[4] He returned to Wycombe Wanderers in November along with fellow team-mate Jesse Kewley-Graham, to boost Wycombe's squad options.[5] Dunne made his professional début for Wycombe Wanderers in the 2–1 away loss against Charlton Athletic, coming on as a substitute for Grant Basey in the 85th minute.[6]

His second appearance came on the final day of the season where Wycombe Wanderers lost 3–4 at home against Notts County, and he came on for Joel Grant in the 84th minute.[7] This defeat relegated Wycombe Wanderers into League Two, after a single season in League One. He played the majority of the final game of the season in front of a sell out at Hillsborough, replacing injured Grant Basey as Wycombe succumbed to a 2–0 defeat.

In August 2013, Dunne signed for Blackpool for an undisclosed fee on a three-year contract. Under the terms of the contract he was returned on-loan to Wycombe for the remainder of the 2013–14 season.[8]

International career

In August 2013, Dunne was called into the Republic of Ireland U21 side to face the Faroe Islands in a UEFA U21 Championship qualifier.[9] Dunne qualifies to play for the Republic through his Galway-born mother.
