    Terry Dixon has signed a professional contract at the Club after turning 17 earlier this month.

    The Academy prospect made a real impact in 11 appearances for our Under-18s as a schoolboy player last season.

    Already a regular at Republic of Ireland youth level, his performances led to a call into the senior squad for a training camp last summer, aged just 16, followed by a place on the bench for the friendly international against Chile at Lansdowne Road in May.

    He was named again in the senior squad for a friendly against Holland in August but, unfortunately, was laid low by a serious knee injury that required surgery.

    The Archway-born forward is progressing well from that injury and received a further boost recently by being nominated for the FAI International U17 Player of the Year Award, where he is up against Donal McDermott of Manchester City and Norwich City's Michael Spillane, the outcome of which will be determined on Sunday, February 4th at the Citywest Hotel, Saggart.

    A lot of kids at Spurs sign pro forms, so it's quite interesting that they have singled him out for recognition.
    That tells me that they think they have a very special player in the making.

    It'll be interesting to see how good he really is in a year or two.....

    The good thing in this is it suggests his injury is not career threatening as was rumoured. I'm assuming, maybe wpongly, that they would not sign him as a professional if there were some doubt about his ability to continue playing.

    One other thing - has anyone seen him play a few times?

    How good is he?

    i've seen him twice and although he didn;t have a great game in either you could tell there was something special.

    very strong on the ball and got into good positions to give himself time.

    plus, he looks a mean fucker and would not swan about if we were 2-0 up afainst arsenal!!

    give him a few years, but would have been nice if he wasn't injured to have put him on the bench in the early stages of carling cup
