**Jerren Kendall Nixon** (born 25 June 1973) is a Trinidadian former professional [footballer](/source/Association_football) who played as a [forward](/source/Forward_(football)). After beginning his career with Trinidadian clubs Airport Authority and ECM Motown, Nixon signed for [Dundee United](/source/Dundee_United_F.C.) in 1993, where he won the [Scottish Cup](/source/Scottish_Cup) in his first season. In 1995, he joined [FC Zürich](/source/FC_Z%C3%BCrich) and went on to spend eight years playing in Switzerland, where he also had spells with [Yverdon-Sport](/source/Yverdon-Sport_FC) and [FC St. Gallen](/source/FC_St._Gallen). He ended his career back in Trinidad with [North East Stars](/source/North_East_Stars_F.C.), where he was also interim head coach for a time. Nixon made 38 international appearances for [Trinidad and Tobago](/source/Trinidad_and_Tobago_national_football_team) between 1993 and 2004, twice playing at the [CONCACAF Gold Cup](/source/CONCACAF_Gold_Cup).

## Career

Born in the village of [Morvant](/source/Morvant), just outside [Port of Spain](/source/Port_of_Spain), Nixon began his career in Trinidad playing for [ECM Motown](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ECM_Motown&action=edit&redlink=1) before moving to Scotland in 1993, joining [Dundee United](/source/Dundee_United_F.C.). Impressive early form for the Tannadice Park side prompted then manager [Ivan Golac](/source/Ivan_Golac) to declare he would one day be worth £20 million. Nixon later said that Golac's inflated valuation of him hampered his career.[1] He helped the club to win the [1993–94 Scottish Cup](/source/1993%E2%80%9394_Scottish_Cup), but left a year later for £200,000 after they were relegated from the [Premier Division](/source/Scottish_Football_League_Premier_Division).[2] He spent the next eight years of his career in Swiss football, with [FC Zürich](/source/FC_Z%C3%BCrich), [Yverdon-Sport FC](/source/Yverdon-Sport_FC) and [FC St. Gallen](/source/FC_St._Gallen).

In 2003 Nixon returned to Trinidad after a trial with [Dallas Burn](/source/Dallas_Burn) failed to lead to a contract. He joined [North East Stars](/source/North_East_Stars_F.C.), winning the league title in 2004, and finishing as top scorer. In September 2005, he was appointed as interim coach of the club.

Nixon has represented his country at every level from Under-17 to full international. He made his full debut for the [Trinidad and Tobago national team](/source/Trinidad_and_Tobago_national_football_team) in 1993, and made his last appearance in 2004.
