At the end of the 2016–17 season, Dunne was released by the club after the club decided against offering him a new contract. However, Dunne's release dismayed Cambridge United supporters, who believed he should be offered a new contract.

However, in the 2015–16 season, Dunne was rarely featured in the first team, under the new management of Paul Cook. This came after when Dunne, along with Andy Barcham and Johannes Ertl, were not included in the club's pre-season tour in Portugal. As a result, Dunne played in the club's reserve in the last four months there. Dunne was also able to make one appearance in the 2015–16 season, which came in a 2–1 loss against Reading in the second round of the League Cup on 25 August 2015.

Although Dunne suffered a setback of suspension and injury, Dunne continued to be a first team regular later in the season and went on to finish his first season, making thirty-eight appearances and scoring once in all competitions.

Dunne signed for League One side Stevenage in May 2012. Although he was out of contract at Exeter, Stevenage still had to pay a fee for the player because Dunne was under 24 years of age. The fee for Dunne was set by a tribunal after the two clubs failed to agree a price for the player. This fee was later revealed as an initial £75,000, with a further £50,000 payment dependent on appearances. The move reunited Dunne with then Stevenage manager Gary Smith, who had previously coached him during his time at Wimbledon. He made a goalscoring debut in Stevenage's 3–1 home win over AFC Wimbledon in the League Cup, taking advantage of Seb Brown's goalkeeping mistake, tapping the ball into an empty net, to double Stevenage's lead shortly before half-time. Dunne scored his second goal for the club in November 2012, netting with a 30-yard effort in a 3–2 away defeat to Rotherham United in the FA Cup. Three days after his strike against Rotherham, on 6 November, Dunne was on the scoresheet again, this time netting with a low drive, Stevenage's third of the match, in a 3–1 away victory against Yeovil Town. His fourth goal of the season came in the club's first home game of 2013, rifling in a shot from 30-yards to give Stevenage the lead in an eventual 2–1 defeat to Doncaster Rovers. Dunne added to his tally the following month, scoring from the edge of the area in another 2–1 home loss, this time to Oldham Athletic. He scored in Stevenage's next match three days later, on 23 February 2013, his sixth of the campaign, in a 2–1 defeat to Shrewsbury Town at New Meadow. Dunne made 45 appearances and scored six times in his first season with the club. He won both the Player of the Year and Players' Player of the Year awards at the end of the season.

Ahead of the 2013–14 season, Dunne had attracted interests from Championship and League One clubs, including Celtic, Bristol City and Bournemouth. Manager Graham Westley would sell Dunne and Lucas Akins if the price for the duo is right. After not featuring for one match in the opening game of the season, Dunne made his first appearance of the season, coming on as a substitute in the 49th minutes, in a 1–0 loss against Swindon Town. Two weeks later, Dunne scored his first goal of the season in injury-time goal, to give Stevenage their first win of the 2012–13 season against Notts County.

Dunne made his debut in the fifth round of Scottish Cup and scored the final goal of a 4–0 victory over Forfar Athletic. After the match, Manager Tommy Wright praised Dunne, quoting "he took the goal really well, it was a great finish." Dunne established himself in the St Johnstone's team in central midfield. He played a significant part in the club's progress to the Scottish Cup final when he set up a goal for Stevie May to equalise against Aberdeen in the semi-final of Scottish Cup. St Johnstone would win 2–1 to reach their first Scottish Cup Final. In the final of In the final of Scottish Cup, Dunne played the whole 90 minutes, as St Johnstone beat Dundee United 2–0 to win the club's first Scottish Cup in their first final appearance. Ahead of the final, Dunne described the timing of St Johnstone and Arsenal playing on the same day in the Scottish Cup and FA Cup final respectively was "weird", though he believed both clubs would win on the cup. The club's chairman, however, revealed that he tried signing Dunne permanently, but unexpectedly low takings from the final prevented this, quoting: "We made a bid for James Dunne at Stevenage but the figures I was given for the cup was nothing like the reality. That amount of money has not materialsed. It's £120,000 less. The SFA take something like a 42 per cent cut of the figure I was given."

Dunne's next goal for the club, his first goal of the 2011–12 season, was also against Plymouth, with the player scoring from just inside the area with a neat finish in a Football League Trophy tie, which Exeter would ultimately go on to win on penalties. He also netted in a memorable 4–4 draw away at Sheffield United in October 2011. Dunne's angled strike came with just four minutes remaining, and salvaged a draw for Exeter after they had trailed to Matt Phillips' second goal just moments earlier. His third and final goal of the season, which also turned out to be his last goal for Exeter, came in the club's 3–1 home defeat to fellow relegation rivals Wycombe Wanderers on 20 March 2012. Dunne was, again, a permanent fixture in the side throughout the season, making 51 appearances and scoring three goals as Exeter were relegated back to League Two.

Dunne scored his first professional goal in only his third start, scoring in injury-time with a 30-yard "swerving drive" as Exeter secured a 3–1 win against Hartlepool United. Dunne's second goal of the season came in March 2010; scoring a last-minute winner with a header at the back post in Exeter's 1–0 home victory over Bristol Rovers. The goal gave Exeter their first league win in over two months. He scored a further goal against Swindon Town a month later, and went on to make 26 appearances for Exeter in his maiden season with the club — with Exeter narrowly avoiding relegation by a point.
