Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin has expressed his admiration for Wrexham loanee Sam Dalby, suggesting that he would love the striker to stay at the club beyond his current loan spell. Dalby, who joined Dundee United in the summer, has been a standout performer for the Scottish Premiership side, earning praise for his impactful displays up front.
Dalby has been a key figure in Dundee United’s attack this season, providing both goals and valuable leadership in the team’s efforts to climb the league table. His strong performances have caught the attention of Goodwin, who has been impressed with Dalby’s adaptability and work ethic. Speaking to the media recently, Goodwin confirmed that he would be keen to extend Dalby’s stay at Tannadice, suggesting that the striker has exceeded expectations since his arrival.
“I’d love to keep Sam longer term,” Goodwin said. “He’s been excellent for us so far, and I think he’s really settled into the team. We all know the importance of having a reliable striker, and Sam has certainly shown his quality on the pitch.”
Dalby’s loan move to Dundee United was seen as an opportunity for the young striker to gain more first-team experience, after being part of Wrexham’s squad. The move has proved successful so far, with Dalby proving his worth at a higher level in Scottish football. The striker has shown the ability to score goals and provide a focal point for the attack, earning his place as a regular starter in Goodwin’s lineup.
Although Dalby’s current deal is set to expire at the end of the season, both Wrexham and Dundee United will likely engage in talks about his future in the coming months. Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson has been pleased with Dalby’s development since his move, but may also be open to allowing the striker to continue his progress in Scotland if the right circumstances arise.
For now, Dalby remains focused on his performances at Dundee United, aiming to continue his strong form and contribute to the club’s push up the Premiership table. His future will likely be a topic of discussion in the winter transfer window, with both clubs weighing their options for the talented striker.
