Done deal: Dylan Tait is coming to Tannadice
United win battle for Falkirk midfielder's signature.
Dylan Tait is heading to Tannadice after a month-long battle for his signature.
The 24-year-old has accepted a three-year deal with United weeks after the club initially tabled the offer.
The midfielder turned down offers in England and the chance to stay at Falkirk.
United made the midfielder one of their top summer targets, though they weren’t alone. He also fielded interest from Barnsley, Plymouth Argyle and Luton Town.
Tait first joined Falkirk on loan from Hibernian in January 2023.
He joined the club permanently the following summer, where he was a crucial part of the Bairns squad which secured back to back titles and a return to top flight football.
He made more than 100 appearances and scored 13 goals for the club.
Falkirk confirmed Tait’s exit on Wednesday night.
A club spokesperson said: “The club has been in discussion with Dylan and his agent for a number of months, however the midfielder has chosen to pursue opportunities elsewhere.
“Dylan has created and shared in moments that will live long in the memory of everyone connected with the club, and he will always be remembered as part of a special Falkirk side. He leaves with the club’s sincere thanks and best wishes.”
Tait will be United’s fifth summer signing, following the return of goalkeeper Jack Walton and the signing of three A-League stars: Jesse Randall, Joshua Rawlins, and Lachlan Rose.
