Early and personal life
editGill attended Gracemount High School in Edinburgh.[1]
Club career
editGill began his career with Edinburgh South Boys Club, joining Dunfermline Athletic at under-11 level.[1] In January 2017 he signed a new contract with the club, following links to clubs including Scottish Premiership sides Celtic and Heart of Midlothian,[2] and later that month he moved on loan to Arbroath.[3] Upon his return to Dunfermline he stated his intention to break into the first team.[4]
Following the departure of Hutton at the end of the 2016–17 season, Gill became Dunfermline's second-choice goalkeeper for the 2017–18 season.[4] He made his senior debut on 2 September 2017, coming on as a second-half substitute in a Scottish Challenge Cup match with Buckie Thistle, with the youngster keeping a clean sheet in 30 minutes he was on the field of play.[5] Gill made his first full start for Dunfermline on 28 July 2018, in a Scottish League Cup match at East End Park against Stirling Albion.[5]
Gill failed to make any sort of sustained breakthrough with Dunfermline, appearing just 19 times for the side before his release in May 2021.[6] Shortly after leaving the club he signed with Fife rivals Cowdenbeath.[7]
In May 2022 he re-signed for Arbroath.[8] In May 2023 he signed for Montrose.[9]
International career
editAfter previously playing for the Scotland under-16 team, he was called up by the Scotland under-20 team in November 2018.[10]
