Wealdstone are set to complete the loan signing of midfielder Elijah Dixon-Bonner from Championship side Queens Park Rangers in the coming days.
The 25-year-old has recently returned to QPR after his loan stint with fellow National League side Morecambe came to an end earlier this month, but is now set to move on once again to another fifth-tier side.
Sam Cox‘s side were at one stage knocking on the play-off door, but a disappointing run of form has resulted in the club continuing to drop down the table and fall further away from the top half of the table.
Wealdstone set for midfield reinforcement
With the Stones suffering from a frustrating run of results, reinforcements were likely to have been off priority for the manager and it looks as though this is set to become a reality in the coming days.
As reported by West London Sport, Wealdstone have struck a deal with QPR to sign midfielder Elijah Dixon-Bonner on loan until the end of the 2025/26 season.
The 25-year-old made 12 appearances for Morecambe after arriving on loan in September, scoring on his debut against… Wealdstone. However, despite a bright start to life in the National League, Dixon-Bonner struggled for minutes towards the end of 2025 and hasn’t started a match since early November.
This likely led to him being recalled by Championship side QPR, with a fresh move already being identified.
Could Dixon-Bonner resurrect Wealdstone’s top seven aspirations?
After suffering a heavy defeat against York City in October, Wealdstone went six league matches unbeaten and rose to within touching distance of the National League play-off places.
However, since mid-December, Wealdstone have extended their winless run to five matches and have earned just one point during that time. This has seen them drop down to 13th-place in the division and slip to nine points off the top seven.
The concern for the Stones is that they’ve played as many as three games more than Southend United (the team in seventh) and could find themselves even further behind. One way Wealdstone could resurrect their form is by adding some experienced heads to the squad and it appears that one is now set to join the club.
Dixon-Bonner has played at Championship level with QPR, but has struggled with a constant source of injuries throughout his career. He’s also had a stint in Sweden with Västerås, which likely gave him a unique perspective that he could bring to Wealdstone.
If he can stay injury-free, there is a chance that Dixon-Bonner can certainly have a positive influence on his new side – but football isn’t a game that relies on one player, meaning it will need to be a team performance across the board to ensure Wealdstone stop the poor run and get back to winning ways.
