His performances for the club resulted in a call-up to the Galway senior hurling team and he made his debut in the 1922 All-Ireland semi-final defeat by Tipperary.
Gill was a member of the Galway team that beat Limerick by 7–03 to 4–05 in the 1923 All-Ireland final, a match that wasn't played until September 1924.
He won a fourth Leinster SHC medal a year later, however, Dublin were later beaten by Tipperary in the 1930 All-Ireland final.
Gill trained as a member of the Garda Síochána, but left the force in 1927 with the intention of emigrating to the United States.
Gill died at the Mater Hospital on 21 September 1980, just one day short of his 81st birthday and just two weeks after the Galway hurlers bridged a 57-year gap to capture their second All-Ireland title.
