Career Carlisle United Born in Carlisle, Dixon joined Carlisle United's youth academy at the age of 9.

Dixon returned to first team training in summer 2020 and made his debut for Carlisle United as a first-half substitute in a 3–1 win over Aston Villa U21 on 17 November 2020 in the EFL Trophy.
On 25 January 2022, Dixon joined Northern Premier League Division One West side Workington on a one-month loan deal.
