Stockport County have signed Everton defender Dixon on loan until the end of the season. The 21-year-old made three appearances for the Toffees in 2024-25.

What happened?

Dixon's loan move to Stockport County was confirmed by the club, with boss Dave Challinor expressing his excitement about the signing.

The young defender picked up an injury during pre-season, but Challinor is eager to build him up and get him playing for the team. | Stat | Value | | --- | --- | | League standing | 3rd in League One, 77 pts, 22W-11D-13L from 46 games | | Recent form | WLWLD |

Why it matters for Stockport County

The signing of Dixon is a significant boost for Stockport County, who are currently 26 points behind leaders Lincoln in the League One title race.

Challinor said: "Roman obviously joined us during pre-season, but picked up an innocuous injury whilst away in Pinatar and then another more serious one on his return to training, so it’s been a long winded process to finally announce him as a Stockport County player."

What comes next?

Stockport County will be looking to bounce back from their last result, a 4-1 loss to Bolton on May 24, 2026. With Dixon on board, they will be hoping to improve their recent form, which has seen them lose their last two games.

The team's goal difference of +13, with 71 scored and 58 conceded, will need to be maintained if they are to push for a higher league position. Dixon's pace, power, and ability to run in behind will be valuable assets for the team, and Challinor will be eager to see him in action soon.
