St Hilaire was signed by the Leeds Rhinos from Huddersfield in July 1996. "Junior", as he was known, became an integral part of the Rhinos squad, especially under coach Graham Murray. He was voted the Yorkshire Evening Post / Leeds Rhinos Shooting Star of 1998 as the most improved player. A brilliant runner with the ball, all too often injuries prevented from gaining the confidence he needed to shine in the Leeds colours after 1999, the high point of his time at Headingley. In total he made 65 starts for Leeds plus 46 substitute appearances leading to a total of 111 appearances. He scored 39 tries to give him a haul of 156 points. St Hilaire was a try scorer at Wembley in the 1999 Challenge Cup Final when he was used in his normal role of coming on at full back to allow Iestyn Harris to move up to stand off in the second half. St Hilaire played for the England Sevens team in the 2002 Commonwealth Games.
Midway through the 2002 season, St Hilaire was released from the final year of his contract and rejoined Huddersfield, where he helped the Giants regain their place in Super League.
After being released by Huddersfield after the 2005 season, St Hilaire joined the Halifax RLFC. But after playing a small part in a friendly game for them, he signed for Bradford for the 2006 season as fullback cover. St Hilaire left the club at the end of 2007, joining Oldham. In 2009 he represented Ireland.
