William Steven Dickson (born 25 November 2004) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for EFL League Two club Chesterfield.
A product of the Manchester City academy, he signed scholarship terms with the club in 2021. He scored 19 goals for the City U18 side which won the league in 2021-22. After stepping up to the Elite Development Squad the following season he scored 18 times in 38 appearances. He signed a professional contract with the club in July 2023. However, his time in the Manchester City academy was also hampered by spells on the sidelines with injury. He was included with the first-team for their UEFA Champions League match against Slovan Bratislava in September 2024.
He joined Scottish Premiership side Motherwell on a six-month loan deal on 1 February 2025. He was immediately included in the Motherwell first-team squad for their league match against Celtic on 2 February 2025 and made his debut as a second-half substitute.
On 1 September 2025, Dickson joined League Two club Chesterfield on loan until the end of the 2025–26 season. On 16 January 2026, Dickson signed for Chesterfield permanently, for an undisclosed fee.
