Early life

[edit]

Gill was quoted as saying that in his early life he “didn't have any time to go football or study in school. Where I lived was like a ghetto. It was a very hard place” but that he “ used to try to keep out of it and stay on the straight road” and that “ Football has helped me a lot to come out of this. To be honest, there are gang wars going on, and it (football) has saved my life”.[2]

Club career

[edit]

Gill began playing regularly for La Horquetta Rangers F.C. in the Ascension League whilst still a teenager.[3] In May, 2023 he signed for Club Sando.[4]

Gill signed with USL League One club Northern Colorado Hailstorm on 16 January 2024.[5]

Gill joined Huntsville City of MLS Next Pro on 16 December 2024.[6]

International career

Gill had his debut call-up for the Trinidad and Tobago national football team in May 2022.[7] He scored his first senior international goal in a friendly match against Saint Martin on 29 January 2023.[8][9] He was named in the Trinidad and Tobago squad for the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup, one of only six domestic-based players called up.[10]
