Ex-Middlesbrough striker signs for Airdrie as the Diamonds strengthen for title tilt

Airdrie have signed young English striker Joe Dixon, their third addition in the January transfer window.

Having impressed on trial, the 18-year-old, who has had spells at Middlesbrough, Hull City and Harrogate Town, has signed a deal until the end of this season, with the option of a further year.

The former England Schoolboys cap told the club website: "I can't wait to start. I've heard it's quite different to English football, so I'm excited for the challenge.

"The boys are a great set of lads. They have good fun, but they work hard as well.

"There's a good balance between standard and fun, so I'm really enjoying it so far."

Boss Rhys McCabe said: "Joe has come up with good pedigree, he's hard-working and willing to learn the game, so it's one we're looking at, longer term.

"Getting Joe in and around the first-team environment and training on a regular basis means we can work with him closely and hopefully reap the benefits of his progress."

Dixon joins striker Bright Prince and midfielder Ben Stanway as January signings.
