Career
Dunleavy joined Wolverhampton Wanderers academy in October 2006, rejecting the chance to join clubs such as Manchester United and Celtic.[1] He signed a two-year professional contract near the end of the 2008–09 season during which the club were promoted to the Premier League.[2]
In January 2011 he headed for a loan spell at League Two side Barnet,[3] where he made his professional debut in a game against Southend.[4] He made three appearances for the Bees as they battled relegation from the Football League before suffering ligament damage during training that ended his season.[5]
He left Wolves in Summer 2011 after not being offered an extension to his contract.[6] In late August 2011, Dunleavy joined Major League Soccer club Vancouver Whitecaps on trial until 7 September 2011.[7] In January 2012, Dunleavy joined Cork City.[8]
