Dawson looking to Hull debut
Last updated : 31 August 2003 By Luke Thornhill
Dawson took advantage of the Bosman ruling to leave United for a local rivals Hull City in the summer, pocketing a bigger paycheque but encurring the wrath of the Iron faithful.
A pre-season knee injury has kept him out of the season start, but after stepping up his training is set to make his Tigers debut at Belle Vue on September 8.
He said: "After the length of the lay-off I've had, you probably need seven or eight days of full training before you can think about playing.
"I've already done a lot of work. I've done everything the other lads have and, touchwood, the knee is fine.
"It was probably a bit early to play in the reserves at Rotherham on Wednesday and although I haven't tested it in a game yet everything is going to schedule. I'd love to be involved when we go to Doncaster."
Dawson, who joined United from Nottm Forest for £50K in 1999 after a successful loan spell with the club, scored 11 times in 225 appearances for the Iron.
