## Club career

A central midfield player, Nyoni was in the youth system at Leicester City. He played for their under-18 side at the age of 15 years-old and scored twice in 13 appearances in the Under-18 Premier League during the 2022–23 season. He signed for Liverpool in September 2023. The two clubs reportedly could not agree on a fee which had to be set by a tribunal. In September 2023, he scored the winner for Liverpool under-18s against Everton under-18s.
In October 2023, it was reported that after impressing for the Liverpool youth sides he had begun training with the first team under Jürgen Klopp. In November 2023, he made his debut for the Liverpool under-21 side in Premier League 2.
Nyoni made his Liverpool U-21 debut in the EFL Trophy, away at Barrow on 7 November 2023. He was included in a Premier League match day squad for the first time on 12 November 2023, as an unused substitute in a 3–0 home win over Brentford. On 28 February 2024, he made his first team debut as a substitute for Harvey Elliott, in the FA Cup tie against Southampton, helping Liverpool to a 3–0 victory. He became the youngest player ever to feature in the competition for his club, aged 16 years 243 days.
Nyoni signed his first professional contract with Liverpool on 15 October 2024. He was included in the Liverpool first-team squad for the UEFA Champions League tie against PSV Eindhoven on 29 January 2025 and was named amongst the match-day substitutes. His appearance as a second half replacement for Andy Robertson at the age of 17 years and 213 days made him the club’s youngest-ever player in European competition breaking the record set by Phil Charnock, who was 17 years and 215 days old in the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1992.

## International career

Nyoni is eligible to play for England, the country of his birth, or Zimbabwe through his parents. Nyoni scored and assisted a goal on his debut for England U16 in August 2022, a 3–2 victory over Italy U16. Nyoni was called up to the England U17 team in October 2023.

On 16 November 2024, Nyoni made his U19 debut during a 2025 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualification victory over Bulgaria.

## Style of play

Nyoni has been described as a No. 8 with good balance, capable of playing with both feet and having the ability to beat his marker on either side. At an early age, he has drawn comparisons to a young Paul Pogba due to his 'similar confidence and composure', 'tall, slender' build, and 'skillful, intelligent' ability.

## Personal life

Nyoni was born in England, to parents from Zimbabwe. His younger brother Reece is in the academy at Leicester City.
