Because of a femoral fracture that he sustained against Manchester City in April 2022, the 32-year-old player, who joined the club from Brentford in 2015, has undergone significant treatment for the injury; nonetheless, he will not be able to return to play. Leeds referred to the Northern Ireland international as “a legend for both club and country” when they made the announcement of the news.
“Showing his versatility on either side as a winger, at left-back, right-back and centre midfield, Dallas always played with 100 per cent effort wherever asked,” the club stated in its announcement. Despite the fact that this news has caused everyone in the club to feel a great deal of pain, we would want to take this opportunity to wish Stuart the very best of luck in his retirement.
According to the statement, “It goes without saying that Stuart is an icon of Leeds United and will always be welcome at Elland Road. His contribution will live on in the memory for a very long time, and he has firmly established his place in history.”
As of right now, we are having conversations with Stuart regarding a potential future role, with the goal of continuing his involvement with the club in the years to come. During the halftime break of Saturday’s Sky Bet Championship match against Blackburn Rovers at Elland Road, supporters of Leeds United will have the opportunity to express their support, respect, and appreciation for Stuart, who will be introduced onto the pitch along with his family.
During his career at Leeds, Dallas has made 266 appearances and scored 28 goals. In addition, he has played for Northern Ireland at 62 different times.
