Powell made his professional debut for Brisbane Roar in a 2–1 win against Sydney FC on 8 February 2019 at the age of 16 years, 11 months and 28 days.

In June 2021, Powell was diagnosed with leukemia and he revealed it four months later. His contract with Brisbane Roar had expired at the end of the 2020–21 A-League season, but the club will offer him a new contract when he is ready to return.[5]

On 2 October 2019, Powell was selected in the Joeys squad for the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup.[6] He started in all of the Joeys' Group B games, providing an assist for Noah Botic's goal in their 2–1 loss to Ecuador.[7] He started in their Round of 16 clash with France on 7 November 2019, losing 4-0 and being eliminated from the competition.[8]
