He signed for Swindon Town in September 1973 but didn't make his debut for the club until 1 January 1974 in a 3–1 win over Preston North End. He went on to make 162 appearances in all competitions and scored 13 goals prior to his release at the end of the 1976–77 season.

After Swindon, Dixon moved to Aldershot where he made 120 league appearances and scored six goals, before moving into non-League football with Woking in 1980.
