 Dexter was signed on a free transfer, playing a key role in the new-look Rovers team for a number of seasons (before switching to left-back and the number 3 shirt during the 1990-91 season).He continued to play for Rovers until the demise of the weekly comic in 1993 and then went on to appear for them during the subsequent short-lived "Roy of the Rovers Monthly", his temper causing rifts with both Blackie Gray and Mervyn Wallace during their spells as Rovers manager.He also memorably had an on-pitch fight with his own teammate, Roy's son Rocky.
