[edit] Career
[edit] West Bromwich Albion
The second cousin of fellow professional Bruce Dyer,[citation needed] Lloyd Dyer emerged as a product of the West Bromwich Albion youth system, though he initially struggled to break into the first team. He made his Albion debut in a 3–1 League Cup defeat away at Wigan Athletic on 2 October 2002,[2] but it was the only first team match he played in 2002–03. In September 2003 he spent a month on loan to Kidderminster Harriers.[3] He turned down an extension to the loan, instead opting to fight for his place in the Albion team.[4] This eventually paid off, as during the second half of the 2003–04 season, he played a large part in West Brom's promotion back to the Premiership. Dyer's exciting and pacey substitute appearances often inspired the team, and earned him a new contract in the summer of 2004.[5] However it was still not enough to cement a regular first team starting place, and in March 2005 he was loaned out to Coventry City.[6] In September 2005 he went on loan again, this time to Queens Park Rangers.[7]
[edit] Millwall
Dyer left West Bromwich Albion for Millwall during the January 2006 transfer window,[8] but was released just two months later for personal reasons.[9] Due to the transfer window having already closed, Dyer was unable to sign for another club for the remainder of the season. He had a trial with Derby County, with whom he trained, but the Rams elected not to sign him.[10] He instead joined Milton Keynes Dons, signing a two year contract in July 2006.[11]
[edit] Milton Keynes Dons
His performances during October 2007 earned him the League Two Player of the Month award. Awards panel chairman Chris Kamara said "One of Lloyd Dyer's great strengths is his energy; he's able to motor up and down the left side all day and provides terrific service to his strikers. He's also added goals to his game this month"[12] Dyer received the first red card of his career on 3 November 2007 in a 1–1 draw with Wycombe Wanderers.[13][14] He scored twice in the Dons' 5–0 home win over Accrington Stanley on 8 December 2007, earning him a place in the League Two Team of the Week.[15][16] On 26 April 2008, Dyer set up one goal and scored another as Milton Keynes beat Bradford City 2–1, a result that confirmed the Dons as League Two champions.[17]
[edit] Leicester City
On July 1, 2008 Lloyd joined Leicester City on a three-year contract, becoming manager Nigel Pearson's second signing after Michael Morrison.[18] He made his debut on the opening day of the 2008–09 season in a 2–0 win over his former club Milton Keynes Dons on August 9.[19][20] He scored his first two goals for Leicester in a 4-0 win over Cheltenham Town on 30 August.[21] Dyer was in blistering form, scoring ten league goals to help Leicester secure their promotion as League One champions.[22]
