Andrew Dixon, who was on loan to us from Salford for a very short period, will no longer be on loan to Halifax RLFC. Dixon has now signed for Leigh Centurions on a two year, full time playing contract. At the end of the 2012 season, Dixon joined Salford on a three-year contract. This contract came to an end and he was recently been released, commencing a one-month loan deal with Halifax, but has now been released for his long-term benefit. Director, Ian Croad said: "Whilst we are extremely disappointed that Andrew will not be playing with us we, as a club, would never stand in the way of a player extending his career. A Two year, full time contract gives the player, and his family, financial stability." See more on our website here: http://www.halifaxrlfc.co.uk/article/41 ... terminated

We have set a very nice precedent for the agents of our players. Sign for Halifax, then if Leigh, Bradford or London offer a contract later we can always get a release.

Assuming he didnt give the club the first option to sign him (as he was on loan with us), this would seem a bit disrespectful.

TBF he was only contracted to us for an initial month which has probably expired anyway.His contract at Leigh is fulltime for 2 years so it was a no-brainer.Seems a long time since we were able to pinch Leigh's best players(Rowley/Baldwin etc.)

Re: New Signing : Thu Jan 22, 2015 5:00 pm  

Well he's got a full time deal which he wouldn't get with us so seems a reasonable deal, he was only with us for a month anyway. More spending at Leigh, that salary must be massive.

Richard Beaumont has retired due to injury which has freed up some money for Dixon.

Re: New Signing : Thu Jan 22, 2015 5:47 pm  

Cant really blame the lad as people have said. Call me ignorant though but if he signed on a 3 year deal at the end of 2012 that would take him to the end of this season coming wouldnt it? Also if his contract had come to an end woulndt he have been with us on trial rather than loan? If it were a loan then are clubs now allowed to terminate the loan in the first month? Just a few things that dont make sense but all in all pretty irrelevant because I guess Salford could just tear up his contract with the players consent there by terminating any loan and he would be free to sign for Leigh.

With Divorty and Manning already shoe ins for the 2nd row spots I were struggling to see where he fit in to be honest where as Leigh are not too cracky for second rowers making him a certain starter for them.
