In November 2017, Dale joined Witton Albion, initially on a month's loan,[7] later extended to the end of the 2017–18 season,[8] scoring five times in 25 first team appearances.[9] In August 2018, Dale joined Altrincham on a month's loan[10] (later extended by a further month)[11] making his debut at Darlington on 25 August. He scored his first Altrincham goal, the opener in a 3–1 home win against Alfreton Town, on 13 October 2018.[12] He returned to his parent club in November 2018 after impressing during his time with Altrincham.[13]

Dale scored his first senior goal for Crewe in a 6–1 defeat of Crawley Town at Gresty Road on 16 March 2019.[14] After 26 appearances as a substitute, he made his first start in a Crewe shirt against Salford City at Gresty Road on 21 September 2019.[15]

A contract extension clause was triggered by Crewe in June 2020.[16] After scoring four goals in four games, Dale was named EFL League One Player of the Month for December 2020.[17][18]
