Tom Nixon

[vanderpanda]

Apparently Tom Nixon has signed for 3 years??

[Alan Southstand]

Where has that come from?

[vanderpanda]

He’s been at my little one’s primary school with the media team recording his signing video. Unless he’s got completely the wrong end of the stick!

We might be scraping barrel now taking transfer stories from primary school kids and not sure why they would be doing signing video at a school BUT I REALLY hope this is true!!!!

[sedwardsdrfc]

Be a good one if it happens. Thought we lacked a bit of energy to commit forward on that side when Sterry plays. He’s got a great delivery but wants the ball to feet always.

[Colin C No.3]

Hope our ‘junior scout’ has got it right on this one!

[Pancho Regan]

Tom told me last season that he was hoping to be offered a permanent deal at Rovers so I've been quietly hoping this might come to fruition.

He would be an excellent addition in my opinion.

Let's see what happens.

Once we hit form, he struggled to hold down a place on the bench. I rate him, but it's just bizarre how he was so out of favor and we would still be interested in him.

Maybe because he is happy to be a reserve right back and right sided midfielder.

He was injured for the last few months/weeks of the season

[GazLaz]

Signed. Official

[CaptainStock]

Just been confirmed, glad to see him back

[MachoMadness]

Confirmed in the DFP - done deal. Undisclosed fee, 3 year deal. McCann must really rate him and to be fair it sounds like Nixon enjoyed his time here despite losing his place. That shows a lot of character, to me.

[Branton Rover]

Here here

[LincsRover]

More good news! Can’t wait for this season to start!! 

[Jonathan]

He has a very important place in the squad and provides competition at right back but also the ability to slot in elsewhere. Good age, lots of development still in him and solves one of the widely recognised priority areas for us.

[ncRover]

He’s a brilliant athlete and a good defender. A bit of work on his final delivery and he can be 1st choice in the future.

As well as the option to play on the right of a back 3, he can also cover that back up LB slot for the recently injury prone Senior. Maxwell usually picks up a few niggles too.

[Alan Southstand]

3 year deal - job done.

[Dutch Uncle]

For me this signing is a very good one and shows the club is looking further ahead than just next season 

[Filo]

These primary school scouts are on the money

Let's get them interviewing TLT aswell !!!!!

The calibre of signings has really improved since Grants come in

Decent contract lengths too. I was shuddering that season the 1 year deals kept coming in.

[Campsall rover]

Very pleased with that.
Good player. Versatile as could slot in midfield if required as he did in the 2nd half at Accrington last season. Think it was the FA cup replay match.
Good competition for Jamie Sterry.
Almost got 2 players for every position now.

We need another keeper as the 2 we have are not good enough as 1st choice and we need another Centre forward who is strong physically, can hold the ball up in the Joe Ironside mould.
If Joe gets injured we are in trouble without him the way GM prefers to set the team up.
Hoping Biouma is as was mentioned going to come in for pre season gets 100% fit because if he does he would be a fantastic signing for us.

[Cramby10]

Excellent business

[ncRover]

Great questions from the kids!

[Cramby10]

Great questions from the kids!

certainly we’re. Better than the standard “how pleased are you to get this one done”?!!

[Barmby Rover]

Never doubt a child, they usually speak the truth!

[bobbymax]

Very, very pleased with this one. Youngster with quality, pace and potential in several positions.

[Barmby Rover]

Maybe "resting" him in the latter stages was to hide him from potential suitors at this stage? Good management if that is the case, he seems extremely happy to be with us, good luck for the future Tom.
