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.[1] The two clubs reportedly could not agree on a fee which had to be set by a tribunal.[2] In September 2023, he scored the winner for Liverpool under-18s against Everton under-18s.[3][4]
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.[5] In November 2023, he made his debut for the Liverpool under-21 side in Premier League 2.[6][7]

Nyoni is eligible to play for England, the country of his birth, or Zimbabwe through his parents.[12] Nyoni scored and assisted a goal on his debut for England U16 in August 2022, a 3–2 victory over Italy U16.[13] Nyoni was called up to the England U17 team in October 2023.[14]
