Career
Milton Keynes Dons
Born in Luton, Bedfordshire,[1] Powell joined Milton Keynes Dons academy and made his professional debut for the club in a 3–1 victory over Hartlepool United on 15 November 2008, coming on as a substitute in the 84th minute and scoring the team's final goal in the 90th minute.[2]
Crawley Town (loan)
Powell joined Conference Premier club Crawley Town on loan on 3 August 2009,[3] making three league appearances before returning to Milton Keynes Dons.[4]
Forest Green (loan)
Powell was loaned out once more, this time to Conference Premier club Forest Green Rovers.[5] He made his debut for the club on 17 October 2009 in a 5–2 defeat away to Histon.[6] His first goal for the club was the third in a 3–1 win over Salisbury City on Boxing Day 2009.[6] Powell became a regular with Forest Green and the club decided to extend his loan until the end of 2009–10 in January 2010.[7] He completed the loan spell with 29 appearances and six goals.[6]
Darlington (loan)
Having not made an appearance for Milton Keynes Dons at the beginning of the 2010–11 season, Powell joined Conference Premier club Darlington on a one-month loan on 1 October 2010.[8] He made his debut for the club the next day in a 1–0 defeat at home to Wrexham.[9] Three days later, Powell scored his first goal for the club in a 2–1 defeat away to Rushden & Diamonds.[10] He made a further three league appearances during his loan spell.[4]
Return to Milton Keynes Dons
Powell returned to Milton Keynes Dons in November 2010 and began to break into the first team, becoming a regular in the starting lineup after the sales of Aaron Wilbraham to Norwich City and Jermaine Easter to Crystal Palace left the club with just two senior strikers.[11][12] Powell went on to score nine goals in 29 league appearances for the club in the 2010–11 season.[13] On 5 March 2013, Powell signed a two-year extension to his current Milton Keynes Dons deal, keeping him at the club until June 2015.[14] Powell netted eight times in 42 league appearances in 2014–15,[15] as Milton Keynes Dons were promoted to the Championship as League One runners-up.[16]
On 18 July 2015, Powell signed another two-year extension tying him to the club through June 2017.[17] Milton Keynes Dons were relegated back to League One after only one season,[18] with Powell making 22 league appearances, scoring twice in 2015–16.[19]
On 2 May 2017, Powell was one of three players released by Milton Keynes Dons when his contract expired at the end of 2016–17.[20] Having graduated from the club's academy, Powell made 271 appearances and scored 46 goals for the club across nine seasons.[21]
Northampton Town
On 5 May 2017, Powell signed a two-year contract with League One rivals Northampton Town, and would join the club on 1 July following the expiration of his Milton Keynes Dons contract.[22]
Crewe Alexandra
Powell signed for League Two club Crewe Alexandra on 7 June 2019 on a two-year contract, with the option of a further year.[23] He scored his first goal for Crewe in a 4–2 away win over Carlisle United on 12 October.[24] He scored nine goals in 33 appearances in his first season at promotion-winning Crewe, but started just 12 League One games the following season.[4] On 13 May 2021, Crewe announced that Powell was being released by the club.[25]
Barnet
Following his release from Crewe, Powell joined National League side Barnet on a two-year deal.[26] Powell scored the winner against Plymouth Parkway in the third round of the FA Trophy in December 2022.
Having been defeated in the play-offs, Powell was released at the end of the 2022–23 season.[27]
Hemel Hempstead Town
Powell joined Hemel Hempstead Town in August 2023.[28]
Style of play
Powell has been described as being a forward thinking player who often runs at full-backs and is a strong asset down the flanks. His unpredictable nature is often an asset and at times a flaw in his character but remains an important player when on the field.[29]
