Northampton Town
Dolman went on loan to Southern League side Aylesbury United in 2005–06, where he made a real impact. This convinced John Gorman to recall him at the start of 2006–07 season, although he never really got a first-team chance.
When Stuart Gray was appointed as manager in January 2007, Dolman's luck changed. He was named quite regularly in the 16-man squad towards the end of 2006–07, and started one game against Doncaster Rovers.
Upon leaving Northampton, Dolman has had spells with Kidderminster where he played seven games, Corby, where he failed to make an appearance and Banbury United where he captained the side.
Daventry Town
Dolman was announced as Daventry Town's Supporters' Player of the season for 2013–14. During this season, he was given a standing ovation by the Chesterfield supporters when substituted due to a leg injury in the 55th minute of their FA Cup match versus Daventry Town. The match was goalless at the time.
AFC Rushden & Diamonds
Dolman played for AFC Rushden & Diamonds in the United Counties League Premier Division, and was an important contributor to the team's championship winning 2014–15 season. He was awarded the Manager's Player of the Season and, unusually for a defender, scored 13 league goals in 38 matches, including four against Desborough Town. He was also awarded "Goal of the Season" for 2014–15.
Personal life
Outside of football, he is a keen fisherman and cricketer.
