Reggae Boy Kaheim Dixon Signs with Charlton Athletic
Charlton Athletic have announced the signing of Jamaica international Kaheim Dixon.
The 19-year-old forward joins the League One side from Jamaica Premier League team Arnett Gardens for an undisclosed fee, marking a significant step in his burgeoning career.
Dixon, who hails from Trench Town, Kingston, has already made a name for himself on the international stage, earning eight caps for the Jamaican national team and scoring twice.
He was also part of the Reggae Boyz squad for the recent Copa America, where he played alongside Charlton’s Karoy Anderson.
Dixon has signed a four-year contract with the Addicks, becoming the eighth summer signing under manager Nathan Jones.
The young forward’s move to Charlton was facilitated by the club’s partnership with Mount Pleasant Academy in Jamaica, as well as strong ties with the Jamaican national team.
Expressing his excitement, Dixon said, “I’m very happy to be here. My first opportunity to go professional is to be at the Addicks. It’s been very good to see Karoy [Anderson], another teammate from my country. I can’t wait to start playing with him!”
Manager Nathan Jones is enthusiastic about the new addition, stating, “Kaheim is a young, exciting talent that we have been keeping an eye on for several months, watching his progress and how he has done in the Jamaican national team alongside Karoy. We’re looking forward to working with him, developing him, and making him a better player.”
Technical Director Andy Scott echoed this sentiment, highlighting Dixon’s impressive pace and technical ability. “He’s already represented the national team, which shows what talent and potential he has. We are excited to see Kaheim develop under the coaching of Nathan and his staff. We’re looking forward to watching him progress and grow into the player we all believe he can be.”
Dixon’s football journey began with a successful college career at Clarendon, where he scored 32 goals and provided 17 assists, helping his team secure several titles. His impressive performances quickly earned him a spot in the Jamaica Premier League and eventually a place on the national team.
Pending final international clearance, Dixon will wear the number 13 jersey for Charlton Athletic.
