Andrew Robert Dallas (born 22 July 1999) is a Scottish footballer who plays as a forward for Kilmarnock on loan from EFL League One club Barnsley

He came through the youth academy at Scottish Premiership side Rangers but failed to make a first team appearance, spending time on loan with Stenhousemuir and Greenock Morton. In 2019 he signed for Cambridge United. He got his break when manager Brian Stock took him on loan for National League side Weymouth, where he scored 12 goals in 25 appearances. In 2021 he joined Solihull Moors where he was part of the team that lost the 2022 National League play-off final. He later had a loan spell with Chesterfield where he went on to play in a second consecutive play-off final as his side were beaten once again in the 2023 National League play-off final.

Career

Rangers

Dallas signed a professional contract with Rangers in June 2016,[3] but had been within the club's youth system for several years.[4]

Dallas joined Scottish League Two club Stenhousemuir on loan from Rangers in March 2018[5] and made his professional debut on 7 April, scoring twice in a 1–4 win over Edinburgh City.[6] Dallas went on to help Stenhousemuir gain promotion to League 1.

Having returned to Rangers and appeared on the bench in some matchday squads without making a debut for the Glasgow club,[6] on 21 January 2019 Dallas joined Scottish Championship side Greenock Morton on a loan deal until the end of the season.[7]

Cambridge United

On 29 July 2019, Dallas signed for League Two club Cambridge United on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[8][9]

On 23 January 2021, Dallas joined National League side Weymouth on an initial one-month loan.[10] On 17 February 2021, the loan was extended to the end of April 2021.[11]

After scoring 12 goals in the National League with Weymouth on loan in the second half of the previous season, Dallas signed a new one-year deal with Cambridge United on 17 July 2021.[12]

Solihull Moors

On 13 August 2021, Dallas signed for National League side Solihull Moors for an undisclosed fee, agreeing a two-year contract.[13] On 22 January 2022, Dallas scored all five goals as Solihull defeated bottom side Dover Athletic 5–0.[14] Dallas was awarded the National League Player of the Month award for January 2022 after ten goals in just four matches in all competitions.[15]

Dallas played in the 2022 National League play-off final as Solihull were defeated 2–1 by Grimsby Town at the London Stadium missing the opportunity to earn promotion to the Football League.[16]

On 30th January 2023, transfer deadline day a permanent move to Grimsby Town or Hartlepool United failed to materialise.[17] On 7 March 2023, Solihull allowed Dallas to join National League rivals Chesterfield on loan for the remainder of the 2022–23 season.[18]

For the second season in succession, Dallas was on the losing team in the National League play-off final as his Chesterfield side were defeated on penalties by Notts County following a 2-2 draw at Wembley Stadium. Dallas had opened the scoring in the 5th minute from the penalty spot.[19]

Following the conclusion of his loan with Chesterfield, Solihull announced they were offering Dallas a new contract, with manager Neal Ardley stating "Dallo has been brilliant for us in the last two seasons in which he's been top goalscorer in both. He's always shown a fantastic attitude and we'll just have to see what he wants to do next season now.[20]

Barnsley

On 24 July 2023, Dallas signed a three-year contract for EFL League One side Barnsley.[21]

On 1 September 2023, Dallas joined Scottish Premiership club Kilmarnock on a season-long loan.[22]
