A member of the Cardiff academy, Llewellyn made his debut in 2017, and made his first appearance in the Pro14 on 28 April 2018, coming off the bench against the Ospreys in the annual Judgement Day fixture.[3]

Llewellyn was first selected for Wales U20 for the 2018 Six Nations Under 20s Championship.[4] He made 14 appearances for the side over two seasons, scoring a try against Italy in the 2018 World Rugby Under 20 Championship.[5]

Llewellyn scored his first try for Cardiff on 24 April 2021, and set up their second after a break.[6] He was widely tipped to be included in the Wales squad for the 2023 Six Nations Championship, but ruled out of the early stages of the tournament due to injury.[7]

On 20 March 2023, it was announced that Llewellyn had signed a contract for Premiership Rugby side Gloucester Rugby for the 2023–24 season.[8]
