Career

England

Hill began his career as a trialist for Manchester United as a 16-year-old, but was not taken on by the superclub, and eventually found his way to non-league Hitchin Town, playing for them in the Southern Football League Premier Division, the seventh level of English football, in the 2004–2005 season. [1] [2]

Hill joined Sheffield United as a youth player on 25 August 2005, [3] but was released at the end of the 2005-06 having never played a first team game for the Blades. He trialed with Luton Town during the summer of 2006, but was not offered a contract, and eventually signed for Rushden & Diamonds of the Football Conference on 4 January 2007. [4] He was released by the Diamonds at the end of the season, again without having made a first team appearance for the club.

United States

Hill moved to the United States in 2010 and was a pre-season trialist with FC Tampa Bay prior to their first competitive season in the USSF Division 2 Pro League. When his father was hired as the head coach of the club in 2011, Hill returned to the United States, trialed with the team during the 2011 pre-season, and signed a formal contract on 6 April 2011. He made his debut for Tampa on 31 May, coming on as a late substitute in a game against NSC Minnesota Stars. [5]

Tampa Bay announced on 27 December 2011 that it declined the 2012 contract option for Hill. [6] However, one month later the club signed him to a new contract for 2012 which includes a club option for 2013. [7]
