Biography

Dorward played for Forthill Athletic when he appeared in several trial matches, including a Northern League game against Montrose, before being signed up in June 1904. Dorward gradually established himself as a key part of our front line and he began to excel during his second season with the club, being selected for Forfarshire for the first time in February 1906. At this stage teams began to take note of Dorward's abilities and at the end of the 1905-06 season he was signed by Leith Athletic.

After a solitary season in Edinburgh, Dorward returned to Gayfield in 1907 and once again established himself in our front line. He stayed at Gayfield for the following four seasons, including caps for Forfarshire, before a dip in game time saw him decide to play for Montrose in the 1911-12 season. After a year at Links Park, Dorward returned and he played reguarly for the club up until we ceased playing competitive league football in the summer of 1915 due to WW1.

During the war, Dorward turned out for Dundee Hibs, although he was mainly away serving with the Black Watch. Once football returned to Gayfield in spring 1919, Dorward again started playing for the club, and he also at this point set up his own gardening business in his native Broughty Ferry.

Dorward featured reguarly during the 1919-20 season but he dropped down the pecking order the following season appearing in just six competitive games and he left the club that summer. Several months later, on 14th September 1921, a benefit match for Dorward was playing against Dundee.
