Lloyd Richard Dyer (born 13 September 1982) is an English former professional footballer who played as a winger. During his 18 years as a professional, Dyer spent the majority of his career in the Football League, most notably with West Bromwich Albion and later Leicester City, spending six years with the latter and earning promotion to the Premier League with both clubs in 2004 and 2014 respectively.
Dyer began his senior career with West Bromwich Albion and spent subsequent loan spells with Kidderminster Harriers, Coventry City and Queens Park Rangers before joining Millwall in the summer of 2006. After half a season, the two sides parted by mutual consent, but Dyer would spend the rest of the campaign without a club due to the transfer window having already closed. He later moved on to Milton Keynes Dons for the next season, where he spent two years, helping the Dons earn promotion to League One in his final season at the club. In 2008, he signed for Leicester City, where he played for six seasons and was a part of the sides that earned promotion to the Championship in 2008, and later to the Premier League as second-tier champions in 2014. Following Leicester's promotion, he joined Watford but struggled to break into the first team regularly and spent the latter part of the 2014–15 season on loan at Birmingham City. After being released by Watford, Dyer signed for Burnley in February 2016 until the end of the season. He joined Burton Albion in July 2016 and spent two seasons at the club before moving on to Bolton Wanderers. After a brief return to Burton Albion in 2019, Dyer announced his retirement from the professional game in September 2020.
