Career edit
Dyhr started playing football at local club, Stensballe IK, with his father as the coach.[4] At the age of 11, he joined the U13 squad of AC Horsens and became the player of the year on the team.[4] Dyhr then moved to FC Midtjylland as a U15 player in 2015. In July 2016, he signed a three-year youth contract and was promoted to the U17 squad.
In September 2018, 17-year old Dyhr was on the bench for Midtjylland in a Danish Cup game against Dalum IF.[5] On 20 June 2019, two days after his 18th birthday, Dyhr signed a five-year professional contract with Midtjylland and was promoted permanently to the first team squad.[6] On 11 August 2019, Dyhr got his official debut against his former club, AC Horsens, in the Danish Superliga.[7] Dyhr played the entire game which Midtjylland won 2-0.
To find more continuity, Dyhr was loaned out to AC Horsens on 17 January 2021 for the rest of the season.[8] He then played two years back at Midtjylland, before joining Belgian Pro League club KV Kortrijk on 30 January 2023: a loan deal until the end of the season.[9]
On January 8, 2024, it was confirmed that Major League Soccer club St. Louis City SC had acquired Dyhr, who signed a three-year deal with an option for an additional year.[10]
