Early and personal life

Gill attended Gracemount High School in Edinburgh. [1]

Club career

Gill 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

After previously playing for the Scotland under-16 team, he was called up by the Scotland under-20 team in November 2018. [10]
