In his three years with the academy, Dhillon scored an impressive 72 goals in all competitions.[1] During this time Dhillon also appeared for the United States Under 18 Men's National Team.[2] Following this, Dhillon played four years of college soccer at California Polytechnic State University between 2013 and 2016.[3] While at Cal Poly, Dhillon appeared for PSA Elite[4] and USL PDL side FC Golden State Force.[5]

On March 15, 2019, Dhillon joined USL side Tacoma Defiance.[7] He acted as a leader for the Tacoma Defiance, providing a bigger target up front than the squad had been used to.[8] On May 21, 2019, he scored the fastest goal in USL history, scoring in just 9.17 seconds.[9] Seattle Sounders FC added him to their first team roster on June 28, 2019[10] to help bolster the roster after the injury of Will Bruin.
