Flanker Ben-Jason Dixon could reportedly leave the Stormers two years before his contract expires if ongoing contractual disagreements end in arbitration.
News24 reports that the 27-year-old, currently sidelined with a wrist injury, is embroiled in a dispute over the interpretation of a release clause in his newly signed deal.

According to News24 sources, if the parties fail to reach agreement, Dixon’s camp may pursue arbitration – potentially freeing the five-Test Springbok should the ruling favour him.
Neither Stormers director of rugby John Dobson nor Dixon’s agent responded to News24 for comment.
