Ben-Jason Dixon wants an arbitration meeting with the Stormers to resolve a clause in his current deal, allowing the Springbok flanker to consider overseas offers.
Rapport reports that Dixon formally requested the intervention via email on Friday, with proceedings expected within two weeks to determine his future at the Cape outfit.
At the heart of the disagreement is a clause stating: “Either party has the right to terminate the agreement, by providing written notice to the other party before March 1, 2025, in which case the agreement will terminate on June 30, 2025 if mutually agreed by both parties.”

While Dixon reportedly hopes to eventually remain with the Stormers, sources told Rapport he seeks acknowledgment of this clause to potentially explore opportunities abroad should his Bok prospects diminish.
The 27-year-old has earned five Test caps since his 2024 debut against Wales.
The Stormers maintain Dixon’s contract until 2027 is binding, having reportedly offered an extension to 2028 with immediate salary adjustments and post-career employment opportunities.
