Club career edit

Athletic Bilbao edit

Born in Peralta – Azkoien, Navarre, Gil joined Athletic Bilbao's youth setup in 2008, aged 13. He made his debuts as a senior with the farm team in the 2012–13 campaign, in Tercera División.

On 21 June 2013 Gil was promoted to the reserves in Segunda División B.[2] He appeared in 22 matches and scored one goal in the 2014–15 season, as the B-side returned to Segunda División after a 19-year absence.[3]

Gil made his professional debut on 24 August 2015, starting in a 0–1 home loss against Girona FC.[4] He scored his first professional goal on 4 April of the following year, netting his team's first in a 2–1 home win against Real Oviedo.

On 16 August 2016, Gil was loaned to Oviedo in a season-long deal.[5] After appearing sparingly, he returned to Athletic and their B-side, now in the third division.

Gil made his first team debut on 25 October 2017, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 Copa del Rey away draw against SD Formentera.[6] The following 29 May, he was released as his contract expired.[7]

Racing Santander edit

On 2 August 2018, Racing de Santander confirmed the signing of Gil on a one-year contract.[1] A regular starter in his first season as his side returned to the second division, he was rarely used in his second and moved out on loan to CD Atlético Baleares on 21 January 2020.[8]

Amorebieta edit

On 8 July 2021, Gil moved to second level newcomers SD Amorebieta.[9]
