His try scoring record only second in the division behind his Hornets team mate Curtis Teare.

Dixon who turned 26 in September spoke about making the step up to the professional game saying "It’ll be a challenge and a tough ask in the Championship but I believe it’s the right time for me to step up and test myself. I’ve done everything I can in the amateur game and I’d like to thank Wath Brow and my coaches for that. I’m looking forward to it and can’t wait for pre season to start."

Head coach Gary Charlton said "I’ve watched Karl quite a lot playing for Wath Brow and I believe he is the best player in that position in the league. He’s got the ability to make that step up to the Championship as he has the right attitude and skills to do well. He’s a great signing for the club and the team. I’m delighted that he chose Whitehaven and look forward to working with him"

Dixon is the fourth new player to join the club for the 2020 campaign with pre-season training getting underway this evening (Wednesday)
