Born in Amsterdam, Guezen played in the youth departments of AFC, Ajax, ASV De Dijk and IVV before returning to AFC and subsequently moving to Feyenoord. As part of the Feyenoord youth academy, he stated in July 2015 that "Ajax was in his heart", and that he would have preferred to play in their youth academy; a controversial comment as the club is considered to be Feyenoord's fierce rivals.[3] He afterwards played in the youth academy of ADO Den Haag,[4] before leaving in 2018. Guezen then played shortly for Team VVCS in the summer break, a football team consisting of free agent players.[5] His performances there earned him a contract at SC Cambuur, where he appeared at their under-21 team.[6][7]
In August 2020, Guezen signed a one-year contract with TOP Oss, coming over as a free agent from the Cambuur U21 team.[8][6] He made his professional debut on 29 August, in a 2–1 home loss to Helmond Sport, coming on as a substitute for Cas Peters in the 68th minute.[9]
"Diep in mijn hart was ik natuurlijk naar Ajax gegaan. Een Amsterdammer voetbalt het liefst op De Toekomst. Zo eerlijk ben ik wel", zo sprak de jonge speler zich uit in gesprek met De Telegraaf.
Maar door een doelpunt van Dean Guezen diep in blessuretijd sleepte ADO Den Haag er toch een 3-3 gelijkspel uit.
