01.01.2022 Big thanks to Jamie Dixon for his part in establishing the Gold Coast United FC Academy as one of the premier academies for talented young footballers in the region. Looking to raise the bar even higher, sadly there's no room to accommodate Jamie moving forward, he moves on to continue his committed work in the junior football development space. Joining the club in 2018 to head the club’s Talent Centre program, Jamie’s enthusiasm for all things youth football was a driving fa...ctor behind ensuring that the club achieved Gold SAP status and establishing the GCU Academy’s reputation for providing a high level of quality coaching for our youngest players. We wish Jamie every success with his future football endeavors and strongly encourage any of our young players looking to extend themselves and take their skills to the next level, to seek out Jamie for one on one and small group training sessions. Thanks Jamie and best of luck!
