Club career
[edit]Elche
[edit]Born in Elche, Valencian Community, Gil represented CD Pablo Iglesias, Elche CF and Kelme CF as a youth.[3] He made his senior debut with Elche's reserve team on 23 August 2015, starting in a 1–0 Tercera División away win against FC Jove Español San Vicente.[citation needed]
Gil subsequently struggled with injuries in the following campaigns,[4][5] only becoming a regular starter for the B-side during the 2017–18 campaign. He made his professional debut on 16 October 2018, starting in a 4–1 home defeat to Córdoba CF, for the season's Copa del Rey.[6]
Gil made his Segunda División debut on 24 August 2019, starting in a 2–1 away defeat of AD Alcorcón,[7] and subsequently became a regular starter under manager Pacheta.[8]
Gil scored his first professional goal on 8 March 2020, netting his team's first in a 3–2 away success over Rayo Vallecano.[9] He contributed with 36 appearances (3,018 minutes, play-offs included) during the campaign, as his side achieved promotion to La Liga.[citation needed]
Espanyol
[edit]On 7 September 2020, Gil agreed to a four-year contract with RCD Espanyol, recently relegated from the top tier, after the club activated his €500,000 buyout clause.[10]
International career
[edit]Due to the isolation of some national team players following the positive COVID-19 test of Sergio Busquets, Spain's under-21 squad were called up for the international friendly against Lithuania on 8 June 2021.[11] Gil made his senior debut in the match as Spain won 4–0.[12]
