Stuart Alan Dallas (born 19 April 1991) is a Northern Irish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder as a Winger for Championship club Leeds United and the Northern Ireland national team.
He began his career in his homeland with Crusaders. He plays both as a right and left winger.
Dallas attended Cookstown Primary School and Cookstown High School during his education, winning the U14 and U15 Coleraine and District League titles with the high school in 2004 and 2005. He later played for local side Coagh United as an amateur.
After a fine 2009–10 season for Coagh United, Dallas signed for Crusaders in the summer of 2010, training once a week and earning £70 a week. He made his debut against Donegal Celtic on 7 August 2010. He scored his first goals against Coleraine on 21 August, and his first goal at Seaview proved to be the winning goal in a 5–4 victory over Glenavon. 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. In his first year at Crusaders, Dallas received six 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. Dallas made 38 appearances and scored 16 goals during the 2010–11 season.
