The 29-year-old has booted 239 career goals including 27 in 13 games so far in 2020.

Dixon’s contract extension will see him remain with the club until at least the end of the 2023 season.

Dixon made the announcement in a statement released by the club today, the statement read:

“I couldn’t be happier to sign on to go around again for the next three seasons with the Port Adelaide Football Club,” Dixon said.

“We’ve got a great group of young players coming through and I love being here and playing with them,

“It’s an exciting future to be a part of.”

“It’s pleasing, but not surprising, that Charlie has chosen to recommit his future to the club,” said General Manager – Football, Chris Davies.

“Charlie has made Port Adelaide his home. He’s clearly a favourite of our members and supporters and our players walk taller with him around,
