Dixon, who has a year left on his current contract, believes Tigers are going places and said he is keen to be part of the journey.

Tigers have been bottom of engage Super League all season, but have been granted a licence for the next three years and are already starting to assemble a squad which coach Terry Matterson says will be capable of mounting a top-six challenge next term.

The signings of overseas duo Rangi Chase and Dean Widders have been confirmed, with Huddersfield hooker Ryan Hudson and Bradford Bulls centre James Evans also understood to be heading for the Jungle – though utility-player Ben Cockayne is now set to turn his back on Tigers and remain at Hull KR.

Dixon is optimistic about the future and he revealed: "I am really enjoying my time here and hopefully I can extend my stay.

"The signings they've made have been really shrewd and I think that everyone who's coming in is going to complement the side a lot.

"There'll be some places up for grabs and competition for places as well, so that's looking good for next year."

Dixon was Tigers' top try scorer in last year's Co-op National One title-winning campaign, crossing 23 times, as well as booting 40 goals.

This season has been much tougher for Matterson's side, but Dixon – who kicked two conversions in last Friday's 54-12 defeat at Leeds Rhinos – says the lessons learned will prove invaluable next year.

He said: "Games like last Friday are what you play rugby for, to go to places like the World Club champions and the Super League champions.

"Those are the places you want to go to and I can't think of anyone who won't benefit from playing in this league this year.

"Hopefully it will make us into better players for next year."

With two games left – at home to Warrington Wolves and Bradford Bulls – Tigers remain bottom of the table, but are just two points adrift of Carnegie Challenge Cup finalists Hull.

Dixon insists Tigers haven't given up hope of avoiding the wooden spoon and he believes two wins are vital to reward the supporters' loyalty.

"All we can do is look after ourselves," he said.

"If we win the next two games, we'll give ourselves a good chance of getting off the bottom of the table and that will be a bonus for us going into next year.

"The fans need something back off us, because they turn up every week. It is going to be tough because they are two hard games, but If we can finish off with two wins at home, hopefully they will sign off happy.

"The fans have been awesome this year.

They really do help us, we were down on Friday night, but they were still singing, cheering us on and not giving us any grief.

"They have been massive for us and hopefully they'll turn up in their thousands for these last two games and for next year as well."

Tigers have won only three of their 11 home games this year and Dixon admitted that statistic simply isn't good enough.

"We have been competitive at home, but we want to be winners," he said. "Just being competitive isn't enough, but to sign off with two wins would be good for the crowd and it'd give us a bit of hope.

"We have lost too many games and we've lost too many in the dying seconds.

"I can think of two straight away – Harlequins and Warrington at home – and if we'd won those, we wouldn't be bottom of the table.

"That's the difference in Super League, there's a matter of inches in it."

Meanwhile, Tigers hooker Scott Moore will appear before the RFL disciplinary committee tomorrow charged with an "alleged strike with forearm" during the defeat at Leeds.

Moore was sin-binned for the offence, just three minutes into the game.
