In the 2018–19 season, Dixon-Bonner was part of the victorious FA Youth Cup squad and he scored during the penalty shootout win over Manchester City in the final.[3] He signed his first professional contract with the club in February 2018[4] and played for the club's under-23 team before signing an extension to his deal in November 2019.[5]
