Sam Dalby addresses Dundee United future as Wrexham loanee admits summer options ‘would be good’

 

Despite United’s 3-1 loss to Rangers, Dalby’s immediate future at Dundee United was assured last week when parent club Wrexham chose not to exercise a recall clause in his loan contract. This decision was a huge relief for United manager Jim Goodwin and the supporters who have witnessed Dalby’s goal-scoring prowess this season. On Sunday, the 25-year-old moved ahead of Kyogo in the league’s top scorers chart with his 11th goal of the Premiership campaign..

Dalby will have to make a choice because he has been essential to the Terrors as they aim to play in Europe next season.

Will he be seduced by the prospect of competing on the international scene, or will Dalby find it impossible to refuse Wrexham’s current contract offer?

Dalby responded, “Yes, of course,” when asked about his plans after the summer. I’m not really looking at that right now, but it would be nice to have a lot of attention toward the conclusion of the season.

So, sure, I’m glad to be here. Although I’ve made an effort to ignore it, it’s something that

Unconsciously, I think I may have.

“I was completely unaware of what was going on. I didn’t really get any clues from Wrexham.

“But yes, I’m glad I know I’ll be here for the remainder of the season so I can just concentrate on every game we have coming up.”

Since Dalby was permitted to remain at Dundee United, Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson has spoken out about the striker.

Parkinson reaffirmed that the decision was made by the Wrexham management team, in part because to Dalby’s desire to finish the campaign at Tannadice.

“We made the decision; it was up to us,” the Wrexham management stated. We basically made the decision that we want to watch him finish the season up there because he is one of our players.

“I spoke with Sam, and he expressed a strong desire to remain up there. It has been a fantastic fit for him, and he has found a solid rhythm.

“We’ve discussed a new deal with him and his agency, and it’s still in the early stages, but he needs to continue doing what he’s doing until the conclusion of the season and
