Despite being offered a contract by nearby Middlesbrough, the offer made by Dodgin was too attractive to turn down, so he signed for Fulham and moved to London, playing as a wing half and inside forward.
Hoci dostal ponuku aj z neďalekého Middlesbrough, ponuka od Dodgina bola príliš atraktívna na to, aby ju odmietol a tak podpísal zmluvu s Fulhamom a presťahoval sa do Londýna, kde hral na kraji alebo v strede útoku.
