Phil Hay says Stuart Dallas has been in talks with Leeds United over his next move after retirement
Phil Hay reports that Stuart Dallas has discussed his future with Leeds United following his retirement announcement due to a persistent knee injury. Dallas, 33, declared his retirement at the end of the season, marking over two years since his last game after a severe knee injury caused by a collision with Jack Grealish. Despite numerous surgeries and relentless rehabilitation efforts, Dallas was unable to make a comeback.
A crucial player under Marcelo Bielsa, Dallas was named Player of the Season during Leeds’ first season back in the Premier League. He concludes a nine-year career at Leeds, with 266 appearances for the club. The club’s retained list confirmed his departure as his contract expired. However, his future with Leeds might not be entirely over. Phil Hay, speaking on The Square Ball, mentioned that Dallas could remain at Elland Road in a new capacity, suggesting that there have been discussions about this possibility.
