Gareth Stuart Gwillim (born 9 January 1983) is an English professional footballer who plays for AFC Wimbledon, as a left back.
Hailing from Kent,[1] Gwillim began his career as a junior at Crystal Palace,[2] before moving into non-League football, playing for such teams as Farnborough Town, Ashford Town, Bishop's Stortford and Histon.[3]
After Histon rejected a formal approach from Dagenham & Redbridge in November 2009,[4] Gwillim eventually signed for Dagenham & Redbridge in June 2010 on a two year deal.[5] Gwillim made his professional debut on 31 August 2010, in a 0-1 defeat in the Football League Trophy against Charlton Athletic.[6] After the match, Gwillim publicly announced his plans to usurp Damien McCrory as the club's first-choice left back.[7]
Gwillim made his debut in the Football League on 21 September 2010.[8]
On 13 January 2010, Gwillim agreed a loan deal with AFC Wimbledon,[9] playing with them in the 2011 Conference play-off final.[10]
Gwillim signed permanently for AFC Wimbledon in July 2011.[11] On 3 September, Gwillim scored his first ever goal for the club in a league game against Port Vale.
