Career

Born in Middlesbrough,[2] Dixon began his career at Sunderland, spending two loan spells at Workington.[3] He moved on loan to Boston United in November 2015.[4] After a loan spell with Hartlepool United he moved on loan to Gateshead in March 2015.[5][6]

Barrow

He moved to Barrow in 2015.[7] Dixon was a part of the Barrow side that won the National League in the 2019–20 season, featuring in all 37 matches,[8] before the early curtailment of the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic with Barrow being awarded the title after the standings were determined on a points-per-game basis.[9][10] Dixon then appeared in all 46 matches the following season as Barrow avoided relegation.[11] At the end of the 2020–21 season, Dixon was offered a new contract with the club.[12]

Bolton Wanderers

On 25 June 2021, Bolton Wanderers announced that Dixon would join them on 1 July on a two-year deal after he rejected the contract offer from Barrow.[13][14] His debut came on 10 August against EFL Championship side Barnsley in the Carabao Cup where he kept a clean sheet in a 0–0 draw and then saved Devante Cole's penalty in the resultant penalty shoot-out, helping Bolton win the game.[15] His league debut came the following Saturday away at AFC Wimbledon.[16]
