Career[edit]
Youth[edit]
Dyer represented the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] (formerly known as the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]]) at Under-19 level in 2005 and at Under-21 level in 2006 and 2007.
Mighty Elephants / Eastern Province Kings[edit]
In 2008, he was included in the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] squad for the 2008 Vodacom Cup competition and made his first class debut by coming on as a late substitute in their narrow defeat to the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]],[2] which was his only taste of action that season.
He made three more substitute appearances during the 2009 Vodacom Cup, including his first start for the team in their match against the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]].[3]
He started their Currie Cup compulsory friendly match against [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] in June 2009[4] and made his debut in the Currie Cup proper when he started their match against [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] in Uitenhage,[5] making a total of nine appearances in that competition.
He remained a fringe player for the team though, making twelve appearances in 2010, seven in 2011 and three in 2012.
