On 19 September 2023, Cahill signed a multi-year contract with Brisbane Roar prior to the 2023–24 A-League Men season. [33] Following his signing, manager Ross Aloisi stated that Cahill wasn't signed due to his father but rather suited into the club's culture and future. [34] Cahill's father posted his signing on social media saying, "Very proud of you my man. Wishing you all the best, keep chasing your dreams." [35] He made his unofficial debut in a friendly match against Newcastle Jets two days later [36] but was not called up to the first-team until late-November.
