Dickson, who has played on the wing and at left-back, has signed a "long-term" contract and Scott told the club website: "It's a real bonus for us."

Meanwhile three players, including captain John Mackie, 31, who moved from Leyton Orient in May, have had their contracts terminated by mutual consent.

Defender Sam Tillen, 22, and Karle Carder-Andrews, 18, are the others.
