Early career


Drafted with the 44th selection in the 2017 AFL draft from the Kingborough Football Club in the Tasmanian State League, he played most of the junior football as a key forward and part-time ruckman. After playing for the Allies at the 2017 AFL Under 18 Championships, he was the only player from Tasmania to be invited to the 2017 AFL Draft Combine.[1]


AFL career


Upon moving to Fremantle, he played for Peel Thunder in the West Australian Football League (WAFL), Fremantle's reserve team, however ankle and hamstring injuries[2] restricted him to only 9 games in 2018 and 13 games in 2019.[3]

Dixon made his AFL debut for Fremantle in the last round of the 2019 AFL season at Adelaide Oval against Port Adelaide, as a late replacement for Sean Darcy who withdrew due to delayed concussion.[2]

At the end of the 2020 AFL season he was delisted by the Fremantle Dockers without playing any more AFL games.[4] He then joined the East Fremantle Football Club in the West Australian Football League for the 2021 season.[5]

Dixon was re-drafted as a rookie by West Coast ahead of the 2022 AFL season as part of the supplemental selection period (SSP).
