After a serious injury ruled him out for most of the 2014 season, Dixon joined Hull Kingston Rovers in 2015.

[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]
Dixon played one game on loan for the Newcastle Thunder in RFL League 1, scoring a try against the London Skolars in May 2016.[ citation needed ]
