Callum Dolan

Callum Phillipe Dolan (born 29 September 2000) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for club Kidderminster Harriers.

Career Early career Dolan started his youth career at Manchester United, where he spent seven years in the Academy Programme as a schoolboy. He was released by Manchester United towards the end of the 2016–17 season and subsequently signed for Blackburn Rovers, playing two games in the U18 Premier League. He then later played for Bury in the Alliance U18 League and also trained with the first team. He transferred to National League North Altrincham in February 2019 and made his debut as a substitute against Curzon Ashton. He only played four times for the club as they finished in 5th position and qualified to the play-offs, but were defeated by Chorley in the semi-final. In July 2019, he featured in a pre-season friendly for EFL League One side Burton Albion against Matlock Town whilst on trial.

Oldham Athletic He turned professional with Oldham Athletic in August 2019, signing a one-year deal, with the option of a further year. He had scored against the Latics in a pre-season friendly for Ashton United and had also featured against them for Stockport County. On 27 September 2019, his contract at Oldham was terminated following his young offender institution sentencing. The club commented, "Following the police investigation and sentencing the club were left with no other alternative than to terminate his contract due to the seriousness of the offences". In March 2021, it was announced that Dolan had been released by the club by the manager, Paul Phillips, but the chairman later confirmed that he had not been released as the club regained his registration until the end of the season, however, he was allowed to trial with National League side Stockport County.

Warrington Rylands In June 2021, he became the first signing of the 2021–22 season for Dave McNabb at newly-promoted Northern Premier League Division One West side Warrington Rylands. McNabb confirmed that he had watched Dolan for a while after he had impressed against his side whilst playing for Stockport Town and made an approach to Matlock as soon as he realised that he wouldn't be staying. Rylands adapted to life well in the Premier Division and Dolan was the League's top goalscorer in October 2022 with 12 goals. The club had been forced to ship out a number of their first team squad due to financial issues, but Dolan's goals had kept them away from the relegation zone and he was linked with moves higher up the pyramid. It was reported to be a record sale fee for Rylands and he was the second player to move up to the English Football League following Elliott Nevitt to Tranmere Rovers in 2021. On 27 October, he moved on loan to National League South side Torquay United until 30 December, who were managed by Gary Johnson, father of Fleetwood manager, Lee Johnson.

In August 2024, Dolan returned to Oldham Athletic on loan until 2 January 2025. In March 2025 he moved on loan to Altrincham.

Torquay United In June 2025, Dolan returned to National League South side Torquay United on a one-year deal after leaving Fleetwood Town.

Kidderminster Harriers On 2 June 2026, Dolan joined newly promoted National League club Kidderminster Harriers, reuniting with his former Torquay United manager Paul Wotton.

Personal life In September 2019, Dolan was sentenced to eight months in a young offender institution following a 98 mph police chase on the M60 motorway near Ashton-under-Lyne for dangerous driving and driving whilst disqualified. NPL Premier Division
