Born in Waterford, Dillon first played competitive hurling whilst at school in De La Salle College. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Waterford minor team, before later lining out with the under-21 side. He made his senior debut in the 2013 National Hurling League. Dillon has since gone on to play a key role in the forwards for Waterford, however, he has yet to claim any silverware.{{cite news|url=http://www.clarepeople.com/2013/02/26/davys-boys-stumble-at-opening-hurdle/|title=Davy’s boys stumble at opening hurdle|publisher=Clare People|date=26 February 2013|accessdate=22 December 2013|first=Joe|last=Ó Muircheartaigh}}
