'DIXIE the Dragon' has confirmed a forever home at Wrexham's Stok Cae Ras following a tour of the city.

Award-winning Wrexham based company O & H Metalwork has confirmed their latest creation will live proudly on the new Kop Stand at the Stok Cae Ras on Mold Road.

'Dixie the Dragon' has been crafted by the UK's youngest blacksmiths and cousins Ollie and Harvey Roberts with their granddad, Tony.

Dedicated to Wrexham AFC legend Dixie McNeil, the dragon has toured Wrexham raising money for Nightingale House Hospice.

It has also appeared on ITV and will star in series three of award-winning docu-series 'Welcome to Wrexham.'

Ollie and Harvey said: "Wrexham AFC was always going to be Dixie's home, but we met today (April 23) with the football club who confirmed there's no better place for our Dragon than pride of place on the new Kop.

"We honestly couldn't be more proud and delighted, Grandad even got emotional."

The boys have kindly been donated hundreds of pounds worth of sheet metal from JB Fabrications in Wrexham to help create Dixie.

A club spokesperson said: "Dixie will be outside the turnstiles at Saturday's game (April 27) on 'Dragon Square' on the Mold Road side.

"It will then be stored ready for the development of the new Kop Stand where it will feature with Morag from the Tesco Roundabout that we confirmed we'd bought a while back."

Dixie will be at STōk Cae Ras on Saturday, April 27 for the last game of the season for one last huge fundraising push before he is left there forever.

"What a way, and a place to finish Dixies Tour", Ollie added.
