2015. Troon Dale originally signed for Troon in February 2016 on a loan deal until the end of the season, when his contract with Stranraer expired. He impressed sufficiently in this spell to be offered a two-year contract at Portland Park as the Seasiders looked to continue their upward trajectory. 20 minutes into his first match of his permanent spell at the club, a pre-season friendly against Ardeer Thistle, Dale suffered a serious cruciate ligament injury to his knee which saw him facing a major operation and forced him to spend the remainder of that season & the beginning of the next on the sidelines.
