Club career

Valencia

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

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.[3] He featured regularly for the side during the following years, whilst being utilized as a forward during the 2016–17 campaign.[1]

Gil had a loan move to Deportivo Alavés cancelled. He rejected an offer from Villarreal CF in August 2016,[4] but submitted a transfer request to his parent club in January 2017, which was refused.[5] Shortly after, he was called up to train with the main squad by manager Voro.[1]

Gil made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 25 February 2017, coming on as a late substitute for Mario Suárez in a 1–2 away loss to Alavés.[6] On 4 May, he renewed his contract until 2020.[7]

On 25 January 2018, Gil was loaned to fellow league side UD Las Palmas for six months.[8] On 10 September, he moved to Segunda División's Elche CF also in a temporary deal.[9]

Ponferradina

Gil terminated his contract with Valencia on 19 July 2019,[10] and signed for second division team SD Ponferradina just hours later.[11]

Personal life

Gil's elder brother, Carles, is also a footballer and an attacking midfielder. He also came through at Valencia.[12]
