[edit] Career

McGill began his senior career playing in the USA for the UCSB Gauchos while studying at university[1]. McGill graduated in 2004.

McGill returned to Ireland in 2004 and joined FAI Premier Division side Dublin City. McGill broke into the Vikings first team upon his return but was one of 14 players released by new Vikings boss Roddy Collins in a mid-season cull for the FAI Premier Division strugglers. McGill joined Leinster Senior League side Mount Merrion YMCA forthe remainder of the 2004 season before rejoining Dublin City for the 2005 season. That season, McGill helped the Vikings to promotion to the Premier Division after scoring Dublin City's winning goal in a two-legged play-off victory over Shamrock Rovers. McGill remained at Dublin City for the 2006 season as part of their Premier Division campaign until the Vikings went out of existence due severe financial issues in July 2006.

McGill did not wait long to find a new club when he joined First Division leaders Shamrock Rovers. A lifelong Rovers fan, he made his debut for the club in July 2006 against Athlone Town[2] and went to win the First Division with two goals in fourteen appearances. He made a total of 29 appearances scoring twice in his time at the Hoops.

McGill departed Rovers in August 2007 and he rejoined his former club Mount Merrion YMCA later that month. McGill's second stint at Mount Merrion was again short-lived when he made a return to Eircom League action by signing for Shelbourne on November 29, 2007[3]. McGill made his Shelbourne debut in a scoreless draw against Dundalk at Tolka Park on March 7, 2008[4].
