A product of the Dragons Academy, Dyer represented Wales Under 20s and featured in the same squad as the likes of Dewi Lake, Jac Morgan, Tommy Reffell and Sam Costelow in the 2019 U20 World Championship, who were also named in the Wales squad to take on New Zealand, Argentina, Georgia and Australia.

He scored on debut for Wales against New Zealand in the opening game of the 2022 Autumn Nations Series in Cardiff.
