Dike joined the club in January 2022 from Orlando in Major League Soccer. He injured a hamstring in his second appearance and missed the rest of the season, then tore a thigh muscle in training after the club\u2019s 2022-23 opener<\/p>\n

Dike returned that November and scored seven goals in 23 league matches before he tore his right Achilles tendon against Stoke on April 15, 2023.<\/p>\n

He returned the following Jan. 7 when he played the first half in an FA Cup match against Aldershot, then in his fifth game back tore his left Achilles tendon on Feb. 10, 2024, against Ipswich.<\/p>\n

Dike came back from that injury on Feb. 15, 2025, against Millwall and played 11 league matches that season. He injured his thigh ahead of the 2025-26 season, delaying his first match to Oct. 22. He scored two goals in 24 league matches this season.<\/p>\n
