Career
Born in Liverpool, Dixon started his career with local amateur side Kingsley United before joining Welsh Premier League outfit Connah's Quay Nomads ahead of the 2008–09 season. He went on to make eight substitute appearances for the club,[3] before transferring to Cymru Alliance side Buckley Town the following summer. He spent the 2009–10 campaign with Buckley, where he played as a striker rather than in midfield.[4] Dixon then played local-league football in the Liverpool area for a year before being signed by Northern Premier League club Hednesford Town in August 2011.[5] He made his debut for the club on 27 August, coming on as a substitute for Chris Shaw in the 1–2 defeat away at Kendal Town.[6] He went on to make two further appearances for Hednesford, both as a substitute.[7]
On 31 October 2011, Dixon joined Burscough on a free transfer along with former Liverpool youth team captain Sean Highdale.[8] After leaving Burscough, he played for Sunday league side McGinty's in the Birkenhead & Wirral League, where he was spotted by Accrington Stanley manager Paul Cook.[9] While playing amateur football, Dixon took college courses in construction and aspired to work as a builder.[10] He signed a one-year contract with Accrington in May 2012.[2][11] Dixon made his professional debut on 4 September 2012, coming on as a substitute for Karl Sheppard in the 0–2 defeat to Morecambe in the first round of the Football League Trophy.[12]
In February 2013, Dixon joined Northern Premier League club Marine on loan, where he remained until the end of the season.[13]
After being released by Accrington,[14] Dixon signed a one-year contract with Lincoln City in July 2013.[13][15] In August 2014 he joined Northwich Victoria,[16] debuting as an 81st minute substitute in the club's home 0-0 Northern Premier League Division One North draw with Kendal Town.[17]
Dixon signed for Salford City on 3 January 2015, scoring on his debut on the same day.[18]
