Tyrhys Dolan (born 28 December 2001) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger for La Liga club Espanyol.
He initially joined the academy of Manchester City at the age of seven, but was released at the age of nine.[3] He spent three years at Burnley before a return to Manchester City, who again released him at the age of fifteen.[3]
Dolan moved to Preston North End, before joining Clitheroe on loan in February 2020,[4] making four appearances and scoring two goals.[5] He signed his first professional contract with Blackburn Rovers on 1 July 2020.[6] He made his professional debut with Blackburn Rovers in a 3–2 EFL Cup win over Doncaster Rovers on 29 August 2020.[7][8] Dolan made his league debut in a 3–2 loss to Bournemouth.[8][9]
He was offered a new contract by Blackburn at the end of the 2024–25 season,[10] but turned it down to join La Liga side Espanyol on a three-year deal.[11]
International career
On 25 March 2022, Dolan made his England U20 debut in a 2–0 defeat to Poland at the Municipal Stadium in Bielsko-Biała.[12] He scored his first goal for that age group four days later during a 3–1 victory over Germany in Colchester.[13]
Personal life
Dolan was born in Manchester, but was raised in Broadheath, Greater Manchester.[14] He attended St Bede's College, Manchester and was in the same year as future England internationals Cole Palmer and Taylor Harwood-Bellis.[15] Following the suicide of close friend Jeremy Wisten, who Dolan had met in the academy of Manchester City, Dolan told Blackburn Rovers that he wished to use his position to promote mental health awareness.[16][3] He is an ambassador for the Go Again charity, who provide mental health support for sportspeople who are released from their clubs.[17] His father is of Jamaican and Malaysian descent.[18]
