London Broncos

He scored his first try against Wakefield Trinity Wildcats at the Twickenham Stoop in a 36-0 win.

He suffered a career threatening injury whilst on international duty in 2013, and returned to first team action towards the end of the 2014 Super League season, with the Broncos relegation from the top flight long since confirmed.^{[citation needed]}

Hemel Stags

Dixon was loaned to the Hemel Stags in a bid to regain fitness on his return to first team with the Broncos.^{[citation needed]}

Hull Kingston Rovers

After a serious injury ruled him out for 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]
