He was signed as a replacement for Ben Godfrey, who had left York for Premier League club Norwich City. His debut came on 23 January 2016 as a starter in York's 1–1 away draw with Carlisle United, and manager Jackie McNamara commented that he was "excellent for his debut and passed the ball well on a difficult afternoon".

He made seven appearances for York in 2015–16 as they were relegated to the National League after finishing bottom of League Two.
In January 2017, Dixon was told he was surplus to requirements by York manager Gary Mills. Having made 14 appearances in 2016–17, Dixon left York by mutual consent on 3 February 2017.
