On 17 June 2015, Gil moved abroad and joined Korean club Gangwon FC.[7] In 2017, he returned to Brazil and signed for Rio Claro. On 18 September, (the last day of the transfer window), he switched to Boa Esporte of Série B.[1]

On 4 January 2018, Gil signed for Korean club Gwangju on a one-year contract.[8]

In January 2019, Gil returned to Brazil with Goianésia, and on 2 April 2019 he was announced as a new signing for Treze to play in 2019 Campeonato Brasileiro Série C.[9] He scored in the opening game of the season on 29 April 2019, against Santa Cruz.[10]
