Career[]

Crewe Alexandra[]

Dale signed professional terms with Crewe in March 2016.[3][4] He made his debut on 29 August 2017, coming on as a 70th minute substitute for Charlie Kirk in an EFL Trophy group stage game against Newcastle United U21s at Gresty Road.[5] He made his league debut in Crewe's next game, coming on as a second-half substitute for Callum Ainley at Grimsby Town on 2 September 2017.[6]

In November 2017, Dale joined Witton Albion, initially on a month's loan,[7] later extended to the end of the 2017–18 season,[8] scoring five times in 25 first team appearances.[9] In August 2018, Dale joined Altrincham on a month's loan[10] (later extended by a further month)[11] making his debut at Darlington on 25 August. He scored his first Altrincham goal, the opener in a 3–1 home win against Alfreton Town, on 13 October 2018.[12] He returned to his parent club in November 2018 after impressing during his time with Altrincham.[13]

Dale scored his first senior goal for Crewe in a 6–1 defeat of Crawley Town at Gresty Road on 16 March 2019.[14] After 26 appearances as a substitute, he made his first start in a Crewe shirt against Salford City at Gresty Road on 21 September 2019.[15]

A contract extension clause was triggered by Crewe in June 2020.[16] After scoring four goals in four games, Dale was named EFL League One Player of the Month for December 2020.[17][18] In Crewe's end-of-season awards, Dale won four awards including Player of the Season.[19]

Blackpool (loan)[]

Dale joined Blackpool on 1 September 2021. This was initially reported as a £500,000 transfer deal,[20] but was later confirmed as a loan deal, with the option to complete a transfer in January 2022.[21] He scored on his debut for the Lancashire club, shortly after coming on as a second-half substitute in Blackpool's 3–2 victory at Reading on 20 October 2021; he also provided an assist for one of Blackpool's other goals.[22] However, he made just six further appearances, and returned, unfit to play, to Crewe on 11 January 2022.[23][24]

Blackpool[]

On 13 January 2022, Blackpool signed Dale, for an undisclosed fee, on a two-year contract.[25][26]
