'Fletcher has been a big help for me' - Dalby

Sam Dalby admits his first experience of deadline day was a "stressful" situation, but he is now "looking forward" to getting started at Dundee United.

The 24-year-old forward joins the club on a season-long loan after scoring five goals and assisting eight times in 40 appearances in League Two last season for AFC Wrexham.

"It feels great to be here," Dalby told club media. "I’m looking forward to it and looking forward to get training with the lads tomorrow before the game on Sunday.

"I didn’t know if I was going to be available for loan throughout the transfer window. It came down to the last second today. It was a bit stressful."

Dalby says he still carries Marcelo Bielsa's influence - who he spent time with at Leeds United - with him to this day, however former United striker Steven Fletcher has been Dalby's most recent influence while playing together at Wrexham.

"I saw [Fletcher] this morning and he came in with a big smile on his face because he had heard the news. He said he was going to come and watch a few games, so we’ll see him soon.

"Him coming into Wrexham last season was a big help for me, with little tips and tricks he would give me in training. Hopefully I can implement that in my game this season and help this club.

"A big part of my game is bringing teammates into the picture and putting them in good situations themselves. I want to be scoring goals as well, if I can help the team in any way possible then that’s good."
