28 year old left sided attacking midfielder who arrived at Church Road in February 2009 from Maidenhead United for whom he had been almost ever present that season.

Dale came through the ranks at Hendon before moving on to play for Stevenage Borough, Cambridge City and Lewes, where he won a Blue Square South Championship medal in 2007-08.

While at Lewes he played left wing-back against Hayes & Yeading United in our inaugural fixture at the Dripping Pan in August 2007.

He left the Sussex side to join the Magpies in August 2008 before moving on again, joining United in February 2009. Dale's arrival at Church Road brought much needed balance to the side and this is shown by an unbeaten run of 15 games from debut to end of season that saw United take their place in the play-offs.

Victory in the play-offs saw Dale earn a second consecutive promotion to the top flight of non-league football following the aforementioned spell at Lewes.
