During his time at Loftus Road, Dykes bagged 37 goals, registered 12 assists and established himself as a regular in the Scotland national team, who he has now earned 48 caps for, scoring 10 times.

In August 2024, he joined Birmingham City for an undisclosed fee and helped the Blues lift the Sky Bet League One title during his first campaign at St. Andrew's @ Knighthead Park, before featuring 23 times this term.
