Born in Nigeria, Dala moved to South Africa with his family and took up rugby at age 12. Eventually he'd go on to represent KwaZulu-Natal provincial teams at various age-grade levels before he and his family moved to Canada where his father sought opportunities in the medical field. Dala played in 2011's World Cup but made his name as a flyer in the Sevens game. After a number of good performances in 2014/15, he was selected to represent Canada at the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
