Early career

Dewsbury-Hall signed a new four-year contract with Leicester on 16 October 2020 and joined Luton Town on a season-long loan.[15] At the end of the season, he won four awards at Luton's end of season awards ceremony, including Players' Player of the Season.[16]

He made his Premier League debut on 28 August 2021, coming on as a substitute for James Maddison in a 2–1 away win at Norwich City.[17] On 10 December, he scored his first goal for Leicester City, in a 3–2 defeat at Napoli in a Europa League group stage match. He scored his first Premier League goal on 10 April 2022, in a 2–1 home win against Crystal Palace.[18]

On 24 June 2022, Dewsbury-Hall signed a new long term contract with Leicester City lasting until 2027.[19]
