Dykes said of his background, "My parents are Scottish. They are from Dumfries.

Club career
=Early career=
Dykes spent part of his younger years living and playing rugby league in Canberra where his family settled. Dykes attracted the interest of the Canberra Raiders after helping Gungahlin Bulls to a cup final win. The move never came about as Dykes suffered an injury and his family moved back to the Gold Coast.
Dykes played youth football for Mudgeeraba before joining Merrimac. He then played in the 2015 National Premier Leagues Queensland with Redlands United and joined Gold Coast City FC the year after but soon departed to play that season for Surfers Paradise Apollo SC for one month.{{Cite web|url=https://www.qosfc.com/players|title=QosFC: Squad - Season 20/21|website=www.qosfc.com}} Dykes was rejected by A-League sides such as Brisbane Roar when playing football in Australia.
=Queen of the South=
Dykes toured England with the Australian schoolboys, after which he visited relatives in Dumfries, the home town of his parents. He then returned to Dumfries to play for the Queen of the South Under-20s team. He scored 22 goals in 14 competitive matches at this level before returning to Australia in January 2015.{{cite web|title=Lyndon Dykes Signs On|url=http://www.qosfc.com/news-3215|publisher=Queen of the south F.C.|date=7 June 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160624074606/http://www.qosfc.com/news-3215|archive-date=24 June 2016}}
On 7 June 2016, Dykes returned to Scotland and signed for Queen of the South, who had Gavin Skelton as their manager at that time. Dykes' senior competitive debut was representing Queen's when aged 20 in a 2–0 Scottish League Cup win versus Queen's Park at the Excelsior Stadium on 16 July. His first senior goal was on 9 August in the Queen's 3–1 League Cup win over Hibernian.
On 7 December 2017, Dykes signed an extension to his contract that kept him at the club until 31 May 2019.{{cite web|title=Contract Extension For Lyndon|url=http://www.qosfc.com/news-3827|publisher=Queen of the South F.C.|date=7 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171209044124/http://www.qosfc.com/news-3827|archive-date=9 December 2017}} In three years in Dumfries, he played in 86 league matches, scoring 10 league goals and in 31 cup matches scoring nine cup goals for the Doonhamers. His best position for the Doonhamers was as a foil for Queens main striker Stephen Dobbie, especially when Dobbie scored 43 goals in the 2018–19 season, although he was also played on the wings.
=Livingston=
On 30 January 2019, Dykes secured a two-year contract to join Livingston, but the Doonhamers reached an agreement with the West Lothian club for him to stay at Palmerston Park until the end of the 2018-19 season.{{cite web|title=Lyndon Dykes|url=http://www.qosfc.com/news-4330|publisher=Queen of the South F.C.|date=30 January 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190131092926/http://www.qosfc.com/news-4330|archive-date=31 January 2019}}{{cite web|title=Lyndon Dykes says signing for Livingston was a 'no-brainer' after striker pens deal with Premiership club|url=https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/local-sport/lyndon-dykes-says-signing-livingston-13930284|publisher=West Lothian Courier|last=Carson|first=Callum|date=30 January 2019|access-date=10 August 2019}} Dykes was utilised as a central striker at the Lions. He scored on his senior competitive debut for the Lions in a 1–1 League Cup draw at Falkirk on 13 July. On 12 September, he extended his contract with the Lions for an additional season until May 2022. On 6 October, he scored the second goal in the 2–0 home league win versus Celtic. On 21 December, he scored a hat-trick in a 4–0 win versus Ross County, the first time a Livingston player had done so in the top flight.{{cite web|title=Livingston 4–0 Ross County|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50791601|publisher=BBC Sport|last=Idessane|first=Kheredine|date=21 December 2019|access-date=22 December 2019}}

Queen of the South are due a six-figure fee as part of the deal, as a sell-on clause was included when Dykes was sold to Livingston, with the figure likely to surpass the club's £250,000 record fee received when Andy Thomson moved to Southend United in 1994.{{Cite web|title=QosFC: Lyndon Dykes|url=https://www.qosfc.com/news-5138|website=www.qosfc.com}}

On 25 August 2020, Dykes was named in the Scotland squad for the first time for UEFA Nations League matches versus Israel and the Czech Republic.{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53894763 |title=Scotland: Steve Clarke selects Lyndon Dykes in Nations League squad |first=Jane |last=Lewis |website=BBC Sport |date=25 August 2020 |access-date=25 August 2020}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.qosfc.com/news-5161|title=QosFC: Scotland Squad|website=www.qosfc.com}} He made his international debut in a 1–1 draw with Israel on 4 September and then scored his first goal for Scotland a few days later in a 2–1 victory over the Czech Republic.{{Cite web|url=https://uk.soccerway.com/matches/2020/09/04/europe/uefa-nations-league/scotland/israel/3243411/|title=Scotland vs. Israel - 4 September 2020 - Soccerway|website=Soccerway}}{{cite web|url=https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/scotland-1-1-israel-disappointment-scots-lyndon-dykes-makes-solid-debut-2962437|title=Scotland 1-1 Israel: Disappointment for Scots as Lyndon Dykes makes solid debut|website=EDinburgh News|date=4 September 2020|access-date=7 September 2020}} On 11 October, Dykes scored the winner in a Nations League match against Slovakia which ended 1–0 after steering home Stephen O'Donnell's low cross.{{Cite web|title=Dykes bags Scotland winner and Kakay earns start|url=https://www.qpr.co.uk/news/club-news/dykes-bags-scotland-winner-and-kakay-earns-start/|access-date=2021-06-27|website=QPR|date=12 October 2020 }}
