Shortly after leaving Chelsea Dhillon signed for Stevenage, progressing through the clubs youth system. He Captained the Under 16 side and was subsequently offered a scholarship at the club in 2010, which he accepted.

During the 2012/2013 season, Dhillon made his first appearance in a first team fixture aged 17 and also scored in a 5-0 Win against Sawbridgeworth.

Another successful loan spell followed for Dhillon, this time at Royston Town, who narrowly missed out on the play-offs.

At the end of the 2013/14 season Dhillon was released from Stevenage following the clubs relegation to league 2 along with 15 other professional players.

Dhillon signed for Barton for the 2014/2015 season, which turned out to be the most successful in the clubs existence. Dhillon was central to the clubs progress which eventually culminated in winning the Bedfordshire Senior Cup and narrowly losing out 2-0 in the play-off final to Bedworth.
