Richard Dixon (born 23 February 1990) is a Jamaican former footballer who played as a defender.

Career

College and amateur

Dixon played four years of college soccer at the University of West Florida.

During his time at college, Dixon also played for USL PDL clubs Mississippi Brilla in 2010 and 2011 and Panama City Beach Pirates in 2012.

Professional

Dixon signed his first professional contract in 2013, signing for new USL Pro franchise VSI Tampa Bay FC. After Tampa Bay folded at the end of their debut season, Dixon signed with USL Pro team Charlotte Eagles.

On 15 January 2015, it was announced that Dixon signed with USL expansion side Saint Louis FC. While with the club that year, he was slated to join the Jamaica national team for the Copa América and Gold Cup tournaments that summer, but was ultimately not named to the final tournament roster for either competition after suffering an injury during a U.S. Open Cup match against Minnesota United FC.

Dixon was released by Saint Louis FC on 10 November 2016.

In January 2020, Dixon was announced as the first-ever professional player signing by Chattanooga FC.
