Biography

Dublin is American. Between 2010 and 2013, he studied Sociology at UC Berkeley. After graduating, he worked firstly for SoftLayer and later Google, spending both jobs stationed in San Francisco. In 2016, Dublin changed careers and undertook a Football Industries MBA at the University of Liverpool for a year.
Following this, he signed for Sheffield United as a recruitment analyst and first team scout. He became the club's Chief Scout in June 2019. Dublin left the Blades in favour of becoming the Head of Scouting at Reading in February 2023, a role that he would ultimately leave after just five months. On 26 June 2023, he moved to Stoke City to become their Head of Recruitment. However, after the conclusion of the 2023–24 season Dublin was once again on the move.
On 14 August 2024, it was announced that the outgoing Dublin was to become the Head of Recruitment at Hull City, whilst his predecessor, Lee Darnbrough, had made the reverse move to Stoke only a month prior. In October 2024, Hull's vice-chairman Tan Kesler left the club, and as a part of a major management reshuffle, Dublin was promoted to become Hull's new sporting director.
