Dungannon Swifts is delighted to announce that Dixie Robinson has accepted the role of ‘Head of Development‘ at DSFC.

Dixie first signed for DSFC in 1984 and has been a part of the club for 34 years. He is passionate about Youth Development and we look forward to being able to draw on his experience, to help nurture all of the young talent coming through our Academy.

“I am delighted with my new position at the Club and I feel it’s an extension of the work I’m doing at Dungannon United Youth, just with an older group of players. I’ll be working with 15-19 year olds and I think with the group we have, it’s a fantastic opportunity for me. First and foremost I hope we continue to get more young players moving through to the first team and even better, get some across the water which would be terrific for both the Player and the Club. I can’t say enough how I really appreciate the opportunity given to me.”

We wish Dixie well in his development role as well as continuing as Manager of our Under 20 Development team.

Dungannon Swifts would like to put on record our thanks to those coaches and staff who worked under Rodney McAree who are no longer part of the current backroom staff. We appreciate all the work that was carried out by them and we wish them well for the future. Thank you, from all at Dungannon Swifts Football Club.
