Crusaders note with sadness the premature retirement of Stuart Dallas from the professional game due to injury.
Stuart of course played for Crusaders from 2010 to 2012 scoring 26 goals in 85 appearances in Red & Black and won the League Cup and Setanta Cup in his time at Seaview before moving Brentford and onto Leeds plus representing Northern Ireland 62 times scoring 3 goals.
He also won NIFWA Player of the Year and NIFWA Young Player of the Year in his first season at Seaview setting the league alight with his wonderful performances.
We would like to wish Stuarty all the very best in his next venture and of course he will always be welcome back at Seaview whenever he wishes and will be given a legends welcome.
