Greg Dalby (born November 3, 1985, in Newport Beach, California) is a professional soccer defender and midfielder. On August 5th, 2007, he signed with SC Charleroi of the Belgian Jupiler League[1].

He had trials with two Italian Serie A teams, as well as Werder Bremen of the Bundesliga and Scottish side Celtic FC. He then agreed terms with Preston, but a decision by the Home Office about his eligibility to work in the UK was rejected. On January 12, 2007, he was chosen by the Rapids as the number 17 overall pick in the 2007 MLS SuperDraft.[2]

For eight seasons through his teen years, he played on several San Diego clubs, namely: San Diego Soccer Club (1996-98), Rancho Bernardo Select (1996-98), La Jolla Nomads (1999-00), San Diego Surf (1998-99, 2000-03). He was named the 2003 MVP of San Diego Surf.

He attended Poway High School, near San Diego, where his skills were recognized at a national level. In his senior year, he was given the highest U.S. award for any high school player, the Gatorade National High School Player of the Year. He was chosen from hundreds of thousands of males for that award, and given a spot on the under-18 U.S. National Team. From there he was recruited by the University of Notre Dame, where he was team captain in the last two seasons.[3] He was named first team All-American in 2005 and 2006.

In 2005, he was also named captain of the U.S. Men's under-20 National Team, who played that year in the FIFA World Youth Championship.
