Dixon pens Hammers deal

February 12, 2009

Republic of Ireland under-21 striker Terry Dixon has ended 18 months on the sidelines by signing a three-year contract with West Ham United.

Dixon was heralded as one of the brightest young stars of Irish football when he made his under-21 debut as a 16-year-old in 2006.

Then a highly-rated Tottenham trainee, he was also called into the senior squad by Steve Staunton for a friendly international against Chile.

A shattered knee-cap interrupted his career and when he sustained a recurrence of the injury 12 months ago, Spurs opted to terminate his apprenticeship.

Now, however, the London-born 19-year-old is back in action having signed a three-year deal at West Ham.

Hammers manager Gianfranco Zola said: “The problem with Terry Dixon is now he has sorted out his problems with his knee, every time he tries to force something he has a tight calf or groin because he has been out for such a long time. We have been following him for a long time. He may have had the chance to play by now if he was fit.”
