Powell joined Braintree Town on a one-month loan deal on 27 November 2015.[7][8] He made his debut for Braintree Town on 28 November in a 0–0 draw with Torquay United.[5][9] He returned to Millwall following the month-long loan having made just three appearances for Braintree Town.[10] On 18 March 2016, he returned to Braintree Town on a loan deal until the end of the season.[11] He appeared in four matches for Braintree across his loan spell at the club.[5] Powell was released by Millwall at the end of the 2015–16 season.[12]

National League

edit

On 20 July 2016, Powell joined Ebbsfleet United after impressing in a trial match,[13] helping the club secure promotion to the National League in 2017.

On 12 October 2018, Powell agreed to join Kent National League rivals, Maidstone United on a deal until the end of the season.[14]

On 30 June 2023, Powell signed for Crewe Alexandra on a two-year deal with the option for a further year.[19] He made his Crewe debut in the club's season-opening fixture, a 2–2 draw at Gresty Road against Mansfield Town on 5 August,[20] and scored his first goal for Crewe two weeks later on 19 August 2023, securing a 2–2 draw with a 94th minute equaliser against Walsall at Gresty Road.[21]

In October 2023, Powell suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament, ruling him out for the rest of the season.[22] After a prolonged recovery, Powell returned to the first team in late November,[23] making substitute appearances in the club's 1–1 league draws against Port Vale and then against Bradford City on 7 December 2024.[24] He then played all 90 minutes of Crewe's EFL Trophy defeat at Wrexham on 10 December 2024.[25]
