Independent arbitration rules Springbok Dixon to remain at Stormers
Loose forward Ben-Jason Dixon will remain a Stormers player until at least 2027 following the outcome of an independent arbitration this week. Dixon sought arbitration to resolve a particular clause in his contract, which runs until July 2027. The independent process found Dixon's contract is binding, with no revisions applicable. Stormers Director of Rugby John Dobson said that with the arbitration behind them, he looks forward to seeing Dixon give his all for the team, as he has done throughout his career. 'Ben-Jason is one of the most committed rugby players around and has been a vital cog in our team for some time. With this now settled, we know that he will continue to give everything on and off the field for us,' he said. Dixon said that with the matter now resolved, he is looking forward to making an impact on the field once again. 'I'm really grateful that both sides had the chance to bring everything to the table through arbitration and get clarity going forward. With this behind us, I'm looking forward to getting back to doing what I love – giving my best for the Stormers.' Dixon, who attended Paul Roos, has five Springbok caps to his name, the most recent of which came against Argentina in September 2024.

Springbok wants to renege on Stormers contract, arbitration looms!
The Stormers could potentially lose the services of Springbok loose forward Ben-Jason Dixon, who reportedly wants to leave before his contract expires. Dixon made a name for himself at the Stormers and from there he rose into the Springboks' ranks, earning five Test caps between June and September in 2024. Despite his now enhanced profile, the Stormers managed to tie down the Springbok down on a contract extension which would see him remain in Cape Town until at least 2027. But according to News24 , that relationship is now so strained that Dixon could reportedly leave the Stormers two years before his current deal with the union expires due to ongoing contractual disagreements. News24 reports that the 27-year-old Springbok, currently sidelined with a wrist injury, is embroiled in a dispute over the interpretation of a release clause in his newly signed deal. If the parties fail to reach an agreement, Dixon's camp may pursue arbitration – a move that could potentially relieve him of his contractual obligations should the ruling favour him.
