Harlequins scrum-half Karl Dixon has signed a new deal which will keep him at the club until 2015.

The 30-year-old's decision follows fellow scrum-half Danny Care's contract extension last week.

Harlequins' director of rugby Conor O'Shea said: "For us the scrum-half position is fundamental to the way we play and we are very fortunate to have two of the leading scrum halves in the country who buy into everything the team is about.

"We are delighted with this signing."

Dickson was selected for the England elite squad last season.
