www.halifaxrlfc.co.uk/article/48 ... or-halifax Sounds a good signing

Good player watched him at Siddal last season.

Welcome aboard Chester

Quote. “There was some Super League interest in him, but he’s quite an astute young guy, he’s considered all the facets of that decision and I think he sees he could really accelerate his development here" Unquote.

Do know, the more I read about what's happening at our club the more I am filled with optimism about the future.
We now have a number of players who have been "interesting" Super League clubs but have preferred to sign for us.
I believe Jason Fairbanks was approached by Sheffield to sign full time but Richard convinced him his future was with Fax.
It's all very well some people saying they are "underwhelmed" by our signings or that "we should have gone full time" but, not that I, needed convincing, these moves should prove to all of us that we are building for the future.
No short term fix.
Well done again to Richard and the board.



Ps.
Mind you, Sheffield or us?
Playing on a Turnip patch with 300 Turnips and a drum or MBI Super Shay with 2000 minimum, passionate supporters.
No contest.


No disrespect intended.

A comment on the Courier website says he is Colin Dixons grandson.
Any one verify this?

The courier article also says we've signed Steve Greenwood to work with the reserves.

Welcome Steve

Chester Draws Marshall.
Welcome to Fax CB.

Good to see a local lad being given the opportunity, if he has any inherited dna from the great Colin Dixon he could turn out to be a belter

no but his dad Peter was player coach at town around the millenium era and his uncle Jim Brown was chairman of Town and owner of Fees builders.

Not sure how the courier makes out Colin Dixons grandson. Peter Butler married Jim Browns daughter, that is how he became player coach at HT AFC after a moderately successful career with the likes of West Ham and west Brom.
This is of course if he is P B son

You doubting the font of all knowledge aka Shaymen.net : )

I think i can now John.An elderly dual sports fan has just told me that Peter Butler married Colin Dixon's daughter so everything fits into place.Fair to say our new recruit is from good stock..

No, Jim Brown married Peter Butler's sister, I believe he is currently the manager of the Botswana national football team.

Gentlemen , my apologies to superior knowledge, l stand in awe and corrected.
My apologies for giving misleading information.

See the local rag ran this story on friday,research fee due to this board me thinks.
