The Newport born flyer built on that and his most productive season to date in the 2022/2023 season making fifteen appearances and scoring seven tries making him the club's top try scorer that season which earnt him a Wales Call up and was named Dragons Players' Player of the Season. As of the start of November 2024, Dyer has scored 19 tries for the region.
