In a 5–2 win over Huddersfield Town on January 1, 2020, he scored his first goal for the club.

Powell finished the season with five goals from 30 appearances, avoiding relegation and finishing in 15th place.
Powell had a fruitful year, leading with 42 league and cup appearances while also contributing to three others, but the continuing COVID-19 pandemic ruled that all of Stoke City's 2020-21 games were played behind closed doors. He received almost 60% of the vote in May 2021, becoming the club's end-of-the-Year Player of the Year award. In ten first team appearances before suffering a fibula injury that forced him to miss eight weeks, he started the 2021-22.
