Dixon provided stability in the Fury FC midfield in the 2017 season, setting several career highs.

It was a career year for Obasi as he scored the first two goals of his professional career. His passing accuracy of 81 per cent was second only to goalkeeper Callum Irving. The 29-year-old was a strong influence whenever he played, winning 42 of the 57 tackles that he has made.

Fury FC now has 10 players under contract for next season, also including Irving, Eddie Edward, Jimmy Sanon, Sergio Manesio, Carl Haworth, Steevan Dos Santos, Sito Seoane and Azake Luboyera.
