Winger Dixon extends Roughyeds deal

We are pleased to confirm a new one-year deal with winger Kieran Dixon to keep him at Boundary Park for the 2026 season.

With over 100 Super League appearances, Dixon has been a key part of Sean Long's team since his arrival last year from Widnes, with 9 tries and 39 goals in just 7 appearances in Oldham's League 1 title-winning campaign.

Despite suffering a broken arm midway through the current season, Dixon has notched up another 15 tries to help Oldham secure a top-four finish in the Betfred Championship.

"I'm really excited," the 33-year-old told Roughyeds TV. "When I signed last year it was massive for me and I saw where the club was going, so I am glad to be staying."

To have the opportunity to be amongst it in a team like this full of really good players is great. It is always frustrating getting injuries but I'm back on the horse now competing for that spot.

This team feels like a big family which makes it easy to be here. Sometimes you can forget how good you have got it when you are at home and have to go training. Then when you get there you are doing something you love with your mates.

We can compete to win this league. We have the squad, the backroom staff and the people around the club to push us in the right direction. It just comes down now to how we perform on the field. The boys we have got here are good enough to win this competition."

Head coach Sean Long added:

"Kieran has been great for us. He made a big impact when he arrived last year and was flying before his surgery this season too.

We need a few strong options on the wing, especially with a couple of injuries to Mo Agoro and Mathieu Pons recently, and with Kieran, Ethan Ryan, Phoenix and Jack Johnson we have got that."
