Travis Dodd (born 6 January 1980) is a former Australian football (soccer) player who competes for North Eastern MetroStars SC in the National Premier League - South Australia competition.
He plays as either an attacking midfielder or winger, and he can also play as a striker.
Domestic career
He played junior football at Elizabeth before joining the South Australian Sports Institute in 1996. He was Adelaide City's fourth youngest National Soccer League (NSL) player of all time (16 years 281 days) and the fifth player in NSL history to score a hat-trick after being brought on as a replacement (in a 4–1 victory over Football Kingz in 2003).
He migrated to abroad after the 2003–04 NSL season, first with Malaysian club Johor and then Greek club Panionios NFC. Dodd scored in the UEFA Cup first round victory over high-profile Italian side Udinese Calcio during his time with Panionios. His time with the Greek club was short lived, with a change in the boss that had him frozen out of the senior squad. He made nine appearances for the club, four in the league, and five in the UEFA Cup.
Dodd returned home to Adelaide in 2005 and was a member of the Adelaide United team that won the A-League Premiership for the fifth time. Dodd was the first Australian player to score a hat-trick in the Asian Champions League, winning 3–0 over Tumb Thong Long An. Dodd was linked to Kashima Antlers after good results in the Asian Champions League.
In July 2008, Dodd took over Adelaide United's captaincy, succeeding Michael Valkanis. He became Adelaide's fourth captain since its inception in 2003. Dodd had a strong vein of form in 2008, scoring 11 goals from midfield, including a goal against New Zealand's Waitakere United in the FIFA Club World Cup, which saw the team advance to the quarterfinals. In round one of the 2008-09 A-League season, Dodd became the first Adelaide United player to play 100 competitive games in which he scored his first goal.
Dodd had signed a two-year deal with A-League club Perth Glory reportedly worth $200,000 per year with the option to extend the deal to a third year on March 1, 2011.
Dodd tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in a league match against Melbourne Victory on March 23, 2013 with the possibility of sidelining him for a year.
Perth Glory announced on April 4th, 2014, with Dodd still unable to play after more than a year of recovery, leaving Dodd's future playing career in jeopardy.
Dodd joined North Eastern MetroStars in the National Premier League on February 7th. During the last game of the regular season, he tore his ACL once more, hinting at a change to coaching for 2017.
International career
On August 16, 2006, Dodd's first international match for Australia was an AFC Cup qualifier against Kuwait at Allianz Stadium. In a 2–0 victory, he scored the first goal for the home team. Dodd's goal was the first international goal scored by an Indigenous Australian player.
Managerial career
Dodd played for Adelaide United as an assistant coach during the 2017–18 season.
