Jonathan James Dixon (born 16 January 1984) is a film and television producer and director, and a former professional footballer. He played as a striker.
Jonathan James Dixon was born on 16 January 1984 in Murcia, Spain. [1]
Dixon began his career as a trainee with Wycombe Wanderers, turning professional in August 2001. Following regular reserve team appearances during 2001–02, Dixon was given a squad number by manager Lawrie Sanchez at the beginning of season 2002–03. He made his debut, as a late substitute for Stuart Roberts against Northampton Town on 13 August 2002. Despite suffering a knee injury, he still managed to score five goals in seven starts for the Blues, earning himself a contract through to 2005.
Due to a lack of opportunities to feature in the first team at Wycombe during the 2003–04 season, he joined Southern Football League Premier Division champions Crawley Town on loan in December 2003. [2]
A similar story during the 2004–05 season saw Dixon go on loan to Aldershot Town in November 2004, [3] where he scored nine goals in 12 appearances. Due to the success of this loan period, Dixon returned to Wycombe and signed a one-year contract extension in June 2005 before rejoining the Shots on loan until the end of season in January 2006. [4] It was thought that in June 2006 Dixon would sign permanently for Aldershot but following the arrival of Paul Lambert as manager he signed a further one-year contract with Wycombe. He was used mainly as a substitute by Lambert and played his final game for Wycombe in the 1–1 draw with Premier League champions Chelsea in the League Cup semi-final on 10 January 2007, replacing Tommy Mooney as a late substitute.
The day after the Chelsea game on 11 January 2007, he signed for Aldershot for a fee of £6,000. [5] In all competitions, Dixon made 24 appearances (three as a substitute) in the remainder of the 2006–07 season scoring eight goals and in the 2007–08 season Dixon made 26 appearances (four as a substitute), scoring 11 goals.
On 30 January 2008, he was signed by Brighton & Hove Albion for a fee of £55,000. [6] He was almost immediately "ruled out for four to six weeks by physio Malcolm Stuart after turning his ankle" during a training accident. [7] Dixon made his Brighton debut coming on as a late substitute during the 1–1 draw against Leyton Orient at the Withdean on 1 March 2008.
He then joined Conference South side Eastleigh on loan, initially for one-month on 9 January 2009. [8]
Dixon returned to Brighton after the conclusion of his initial loan spell at the Silverlake Stadium and was named as a substitute during the Football League Trophy Southern Final penalty-shoot out defeat to Luton Town. [9] Dixon then re-joined Conference South side Eastleigh on loan, initially for a month the following day. [10]
On 3 July 2009, Dixon retired from football, and had his remaining contract at Brighton terminated by mutual consent. [11] He cited the reasons were to concentrate on his music management business. [12]
Dixon went on to become a television and film producer and director. [13] His credits include Come Dine with Me, Jodie Marsh on Mail Order Brides, Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents, Don't Tell the Bride and The Valleys. [13]
Dixon has previously dated Australian model, actress and ARIA nominated singer Holly Valance. [14]
