Playing career

England Knights

He sustained a career threatening injury in 2013 against Samoa

Hemel Stags

Dixon was loaned to the Hemel Stags in a bid to regain fitness on his return to first-grade with the Broncos.

Hull Kingston Rovers

After a serious injury ruled him out for the most of the 2014 season, Dixon joined Hull Kingston Rovers in 2015. He appeared for Rovers in the 2015 Challenge Cup final, however his performance in the match was heavily criticised as the team suffered a record-breaking 50-0 defeat by Leeds.[6][7] The following week, Dixon bounced back to score two tries in a man-of-the-match display as Hull Kingston Rovers beat Wakefield Trinity.[8] And on 12th 09-15 went 2 better with yet another man of the match performance and 4 tries against Bradford Bulls in a match that made sure Rovers secured Super league status for the next season.[9]

Return to London

Dixon re-signed for the London Broncos after Hull Kingston Rovers were relegated from Super League taking up the offer to return to his home club for the 2017 and 2018 seasons.[10]
