Despite this, Dixon earned a spot in the Football League with Bournemouth, making 25 appearances during the 1928–29 season after failing to break into Sunderland’s League team.He joined Connah’s Quay alongside Robert Taylor and later moved to Nelson during their disastrous final League season, where the team conceded 113 goals and lost all 21 away games.
