Paul Dixon (born 11 October 1986 in Aberdeen, Scotland) is a Scottish professional footballer currently playing for Scottish First Division club Dundee.
Aberdeen born youngster who has been with Dundee since the age of 12. Paul is a left back who has a cultured left foot and is something of a long throw expert.
Paul starred for the youth side last season and was mentioned early in that campaign by manager Jim Duffy as a player who could make the breakthrough to the top team. Dundee's involvement in the relegation battle meant that Dixon had to wait until the start of the current campaign to make his debut.
He impressed on his first appearances in the top team, being voted player of the tournament in the inaugural City of Discovery Cup.
In the 2006-2007 season scouts from Southampton and Bolton Wanderers where believed to be on his trail.
