In 2021 he joined Solihull Moors where he was part of the team that lost the 2022 National League play-off final. He later had a loan spell with Chesterfield where he went on to play in a second consecutive play-off final as his side were beaten once again in the 2023 National League play-off final.

Career

Rangers

Dallas signed a professional contract with Rangers in June 2016, [3] but had been within the club's youth system for several years. [4]

Dallas joined Scottish League Two club Stenhousemuir on loan from Rangers in March 2018 [5] and made his professional debut on 7 April, scoring twice in a 1–4 win over Edinburgh City. [6] Dallas went on to help Stenhousemuir gain promotion to League 1.

Having returned to Rangers and appeared on the bench in some matchday squads without making a debut for the Glasgow club, [6] on 21 January 2019 Dallas joined Scottish Championship side Greenock Morton on a loan deal until the end of the season. [7]

Cambridge United

On 29 July 2019, Dallas signed for League Two club Cambridge United on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee. [8] [9]

On 23 January 2021, Dallas joined National League side Weymouth on an initial one-month loan. [10] On 17 February 2021, the loan was extended to the end of April 2021. [11]

After scoring 12 goals in the National League with Weymouth on loan in the second half of the previous season, Dallas signed a new one-year deal with Cambridge United on 17 July 2021. [12]

Solihull Moors

On 13 August 2021, Dallas signed for National League side Solihull Moors for an undisclosed fee, agreeing a two-year contract. [13] On 22 January 2022, Dallas scored all five goals as Solihull defeated bottom side Dover Athletic 5–0. [14] Dallas was awarded the National League Player of the Month award for January 2022 after ten goals in just four matches in all competitions. [15]

Dallas played in the 2022 National League play-off final as Solihull were defeated 2–1 by Grimsby Town at the London Stadium missing the opportunity to earn promotion to the Football League. [16]

On 30th January 2023, transfer deadline day a permanent move to Grimsby Town or Hartlepool United failed to materialise. [17] On 7 March 2023, Solihull allowed Dallas to join National League rivals Chesterfield on loan for the remainder of the 2022–23 season. [18]

For the second season in succession, Dallas was on the losing team in the National League play-off final as his Chesterfield side were defeated on penalties by Notts County following a 2-2 draw at Wembley Stadium. Dallas had opened the scoring in the 5th minute from the penalty spot. [19]

Following the conclusion of his loan with Chesterfield, Solihull announced they were offering Dallas a new contract, with manager Neal Ardley stating "Dallo has been brilliant for us in the last two seasons in which he's been top goalscorer in both. He's always shown a fantastic attitude and we'll just have to see what he wants to do next season now. [20]

Barnsley

On 24 July 2023, Dallas signed a three-year contract for EFL League One side Barnsley. [21]

On 1 September 2023, Dallas joined Scottish Premiership club Kilmarnock on a season-long loan. [22] In January 2024, he was recalled by Barnsley, [23] before being sent on loan to National League club Oldham Athletic for the remainder of the season. [24]
