Dean joined the club along with his twin brother Darren when the first team was moved down to the second division. He soon made the position his own with his eloquent vocabulary and no nonsense views on the game and whoever was his back four at the time. He won respect from his players immediately, and soon was the voice of the changing rooms before every game. Dean approached every game like a cup final and gave and expected 100% every time. He won Division Two league and Cup double honours this season.

2000 / 01

Dean won the Division 1 cup with the 1st team over a much fancied Knebworth side, winning 3 - 1.

2001 / 02

Dean helped the team to a credible Division One league and cup double year and with it promotion to the Premier. He made just eight appearances sharing the duty between the sticks with Sam Bayford.

2002 - 03

Unfortunately Dean's registration was refused due to his poor disciplinary record and he never played a game for the club again.
