Career

[edit | edit source]

Valencia

[edit | edit source]

Born in Valencia, Gil joined hometown club Valencia CF's youth setup in 2002 at the age of seven.[2] He made his senior debut with the reserves on 5 January 2014, starting in a 1–0 Segunda División B away loss against CE L'Hospitalet.[3]

Gil was promoted to the B team ahead of the 2014–15 season, and scored his first senior goal on 7 December 2014 in a 1–0 away win over CF Reus Deportiu.[4] He featured regularly for the side the following years, whilst being utilised as a forward during the 2016–17 campaign.[2]

Gil had a loan move to Deportivo Alavés cancelled. He rejected an offer from Villarreal CF in August 2016,[5] but submitted a transfer request to his parent club in January 2017, which was refused.[6] Shortly after, he was called up to train with the main squad by manager Voro.[2]

Gil made his first-team and La Liga debut on 25 February 2017, coming on as a late substitute for Mario Suárez in a 2–1 away defeat to Alavés.[7] On 4 May, he renewed his contract until 2020.[8]

On 25 January 2018, Gil was loaned to UD Las Palmas of the same league for six months.[9] On 10 September, he moved to Segunda División's Elche CF also in a temporary deal.[10]

Ponferradina

[edit | edit source]

Gil terminated his contract with Valencia on 19 July 2019,[11] and signed for second division team SD Ponferradina just hours later.[12]

He played 35 matches in all competitions during his spell,[13] scoring his only goal on 22 December 2019 in the 3–2 away victory against UD Almería.[14]

Cartagena

[edit | edit source]

On 18 August 2020, agreed to a two-year deal at FC Cartagena, newly promoted to the second tier.[15] He scored once – in a 4–1 loss at Sporting de Gijón on 26 March 2022[16]– also being sent off as a late substitute in a 1–0 away win over league leaders UD Almería on 2 January that year.[17]

Gil was released at the end of his contract in June 2022, as the club declined an extension.[18]

New England Revolution

[edit | edit source]

On 18 August 2022, Gil joined New England Revolution of Major League Soccer.[19] He made his debut on 10 September as a late substitute in a 2–1 loss at the New York Red Bulls.[20]

Gil signed a new two-year deal on 5 January 2023, with a one-year option for 2025.[21] He missed the first five months of the 2023 season due to a knee injury, returning to action on 26 July in the 5–1 away win over Atlético San Luis in the group stage of the Leagues Cup, replacing Noel Buck after 63 minutes.[22]

Gil scored his first goal for the club on 1 March 2024, in a 3–0 victory against Club Atlético Independiente in the round of 32 of the CONCACAF Champions Cup.[23] His only in the MLS came 22 days later, in the 1–1 home draw with Chicago Fire FC.[24]

Gil was not offered a new contract at the end of the 2024 campaign.[25]

Later career
