After featuring in 26 games, scoring five tries along the way in his debut campaign, Dickson was named Bedford Blues' captain ahead of the 2018/19 season.

In January 2019, he confirmed he will hang up his boots at the end of the 2018/19 campaign to take up the role of ‘Master in charge of Rugby’ at Barnard Castle School in County Durham.
