He grew up in Greenwich, Plumstead and Woolwich, and attended Corelli College in Kidbrooke. He played local football, representing the Blackheath district as a youngster alongside Alex Iwobi, Joe Gomez and Kasey Palmer, before he was spotted by Millwall scout and former player Andy Massey, and subsequently signed for the club at the age of 12.

Onyedinma made his senior debut for Millwall on 4 January 2014 in the FA Cup against Southend United. He came on as a 62nd-minute substitute for Richard Chaplow as Millwall lost 4–1. He later made his full debut against Charlton Athletic and was named man of the match.

On 6 July 2020, Onyedinma scored twice in the second leg of Wycombe's League One play-off semi-final match against Fleetwood Town to secure a 2–2 draw and a 6–3 win on aggregate.

On 28 July 2023, Onyedinma joined Rotherham United on a season-long loan. On 24 May 2024, Luton announced he would be leaving in the summer when his contract expired,
