Celtic Crusaders coach John Dixon has signed a new contract that will keep him at the Welsh rugby league club for a further two years. Dixon joined the Crusaders at their inception in 2006, after 10 years on the coaching staff at Brisbane Broncos.
The new deal will keep him at the Brewery Field until the end of 2009.
"I came here to be part of something special," said Dixon. "As a club we have made enormous progress over the past two years."

Crusaders chief executive David Thompson said: "John is so much more than just the head coach here.
"His breadth of experience in coaching, junior development, player recruitment, and player welfare is crucial to us in our formative years.
"Everyone at the club is delighted he will remain at the helm at least until the end of the 2009 season."
The Crusaders are currently second in NL2 with a game in hand and face league leaders Featherstone Rovers on Thursday (1935 BST).
