Yu attended the Pun U Association Wah Yan Primary School and the prestigious secondary school, Wah Yan College. Yu was a competitive swimmer, and was a member of Hong Kong's national swimming team. Despite being a frequent competitor in athletic meets, Yu failed to qualify for the Asian Games. This led to his decision to forgo his swimming career.

Yu's first gig with TVB was being a presenter for TVB Sports News. In 2015, Yu was offered a spot to host the children's program series Kids, Think Big. In 2016, he crossed over to TVB's drama department, and was trained by Anthony Wong. He earned minor speak roles in Blue Veins (2016) and Two Steps from Heaven (2016). Yu rose to popularity after portraying "Ocean" in the 2017 television drama My Ages Apart.

On 8 August 2018, Yu passed out during a football match in Sai Ying Pun. He was brought to Queen Mary Hospital and was in intensive care. On 11 August 2018, Yu finally regained consciousness and was understood that a defibrillator was used to save his life.

In May 2022, Dickson announced his departure from TVB, ending an 8 year work-contract.
