Career & Clubs

Playing career

Tranmere Rovers

Born in Huyton, Merseyside, Hill began his career as a trainee at Tranmere Rovers, where he made his debut during a 2–2 draw against Nottingham Forest in the 1997–98 season. By the 1998–99 season Hill had become a regular starter in the Tranmere side and was part of the team which played in the 2000 English League Cup Final at Wembley Stadium against Leicester City. However Hill was sent-off during the game and Tranmere lost the match 2–1. Hill made 140 appearances during his five years in the Tranmere first team.

Oldham Athletic

A£250,000 move to Oldham Athletic in 2002 saw him make just 17 league starts in one season before it was cut short when Hill broke his leg during a League Cup tie against Crystal Palace in December 2002, which kept him sidelined for the remainder of the 2002–03 season. Hill scored one league goal for the Latics, ironically against Tranmere. Hill was then given a £120,000 move to Stoke City during the summer of 2003.

Stoke City

Hill's first season at Stoke City was disrupted with injury and he was forced to sit out a lot of the 2003–04 season, making only nine first team starts and three substitute appearances. However Hill impressed during his second season at Stoke with his defensive ability and won the club's player of the year award for the 2004–05 season. However, Hill's career at Stoke was hindered by recurring knee injuries, he damaged his anterior cruciate ligament towards the end of the 2004–05…

Coaching career

On 21 May 2018, he was appointed as joint First Team Coach at Fleetwood Town alongside former Rochdale manager Steve Eyre. Hill left Fleetwood in January 2021 when then manager Joey Barton was relieved of his duties. On 22 February, he followed Barton and Andy Mangan to join Bristol Rovers. On 14 August 2021, following a 2–0 home defeat to Stevenage, it was announced that Hill had left the club due to personal family reasons. In October 2021, Hill was appointed assistant manager at League Two club Hartlepool United. Hill left the club a month later following the departure of manager Dave Challinor. The following day Hill followed Challinor to Stockport County in the role of assistant manager.
