Early life

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”.

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