Career

Born in Berlin,[1] Dehl played youth football for SV Blau-Gelb Berlin before joining the academy of Union Berlin in 2011.[2] He progressed through their academy and signed a two-year professional contract in summer 2019.[3] He joined 3. Liga side Hallescher FC on a season-long loan in July 2020.[4] He made his senior debut on 20 September 2020 as a substitute in a 2–0 victory away to 1. FC Magdeburg.[5] He scored his first professional goal on 21 October 2020 with the opening goal of a 4–1 win over SV Meppen.[6] He received the first red card of his career on 12 December 2020 after picking up a second yellow card for preventing Dynamo Dresden from taking a quick throw-in.[7] He scored 3 goals in 22 appearances across the 2020–21 season.[8]

Dehl made his debut for Union on 26 August 2021, as a substitute in a 0–0 Europa Conference League draw with Kuopion PS, in what turned out to be his only appearance of the season.[9][10] On 2 December 2021, Union announced Dehl had to undergo surgery for an injury he picked up.[11] In April 2022, Union extended Dehl's expiring contract.[9]

On 25 July 2022, Dehl joined Bohemians in Ireland on loan until the end of the season in November 2022.[12] He made just 1 appearance during his time in Ireland, playing the first 45 minutes of a 1–0 loss at home to Dundalk on 12 August 2022.[13]

On 4 January 2023, Dehl was loaned to Viktoria Berlin.[14]

On 24 January 2024, Dehl signed a contract with Austria Klagenfurt in Austria until June 2026 and was loaned back to Viktoria Berlin for the remainder of the 2023–24 season.[15]

He returned to Germany in June 2025, signing for Regionalliga Nordost club Rot-Weiß Erfurt on a free transfer. He signed a two-year contract with the club.[16]

Style of play

Having started his career as an attacking midfielder, he retrained as a right-back during the 2021–22 season according to Union managing director Oliver Ruhnert.[9]
