Stuart Dallas (born 19 April 1991) is a footballer who currently plays in the IFA Premiership for Crusaders.
Stuart attended Cookstown High School and Cookstown Primary School during his education, and played for local side Coagh United as an amateur. After a fine season in 2009–10, he signed for Crusaders that summer and made his debut against Donegal Celtic on 7 August 2010.[1]
He continued his good form with a goal against Linfield at Seaview, to help the Crues beat the Blues at home for the first time in 11 years.[2] In his first year at Crusaders, Stuart received 6 prizes at the Annual Player of the Year awards ceremony. He was chosen as both the Northern Ireland Football Writers' Association Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year for the 2010–11 season.[3]
Due to his early season form for the Crues, he received a call-up to the Northern Ireland U23 along with team-mates Chris Keenan, Martin Donnelly, and Jordan Owens. He played the full 90 minutes in a 2–0 defeat to Portugal.[4]
At the end of the 2010–11 season, along with team mates Colin Coates and Jordan Owens, he received a call-up to the full Northern Ireland squad, for 2011 Nations Cup games against Republic of Ireland and Wales.[5] He made his debut against the Welsh in Dublin, coming on in the 60th minute.[6]
