He joined Birmingham City in June 1951,[2] and made his debut in the Second Division on 13 February 1954, deputising for regular outside left Alex Govan in a home game against West Ham United which Birmingham won 2–0.
[3] Hill played only three more games over the next three years, as Govan's goalscoring ability kept him out of first-team consideration, and in February 1957 he decided to pursue a career as a draughtsman while playing part-time football, first with Burton Albion[2] and then with Matlock Town.
He scored seven goals from 38 appearances for Matlock in the 1959–60 season,[4] when the team won the championship of the Central Alliance Division North[5] and reached the first round proper of the FA Cup for the first time in the club's history.
[6][7] Hill died in Wolverhampton in July 2020 at the age of 90.
