Gillott began his career with Worsbrough Bridge Athletic, before moving to hometown club Barnsley in 1953.[2] Gillott made five Football League appearances at Barnsley over the course of six years, leaving to sign for Chelmsford City in July 1959.[3]

In 1964, Gillott, and fellow Chelmsford stalwart Derek Tiffin, were jointly awarded two testimonials against Swedish club IFK Holmsund and Romford.[4] In May 1966, Gillott signed for Margate, being made club captain on his arrival. Gillott made 64 appearances in all competitions for Margate over the course of a single season, before re-signing for Chelmsford. Upon his return to Chelmsford, Gillott was appointed reserve team manager.[5] In January 1970, Gillott made his final appearance for Chelmsford in a 4–3 FA Trophy loss against Bedford Town.[4] Gillott amassed 376 appearances during his time at Chelmsford, scoring six times, placing him eighth on the club's all-time record appearance makers list.[6]
