It was announced August 2007 that Dahl has signed for FC Nordsjælland from Helsingborgs IF, a contract starting on 1 January 2008.
On 12 April in the match between Aab and Nordsjalland, a streaker invaded the pitch and Dahl took it upon himself to stop him. The Danish Premier League player says he has no regrets about kicking a streaker where it hurts, 'I know it's the stewards' job, but why shouldn't I be allowed to kick him in the balls? I just stuck out a leg and hit him straight in his special area. I guess it was a bit unfortunate for him, but it wasn't as if I was aiming. He sure went down fast.' This incident prompted comments by the Danish Press of the form 'Dahl is a player that keeps his eye on the balls".[1]
On 26 June 2009 it was announced that he had signed a contract for 3.5 year with Hammarby IF, thus making his return in Allsvenskan.[2]
