Born in Walsall,[2] Tilt was working in a quarry and had largely stopped playing football when he was spotted by Gornal Athletic playing in a tournament organised by Sporting Khalsa.[3] After one season with Gornal he left to join Tipton Town in the summer of 2013, but then moved on again to Halesowen Town in September of the same year.[4] After two seasons with Halesowen, Tilt moved on to Hednesford Town in 2015,[5] before signing for Wrexham in June 2016,[6] and moving on loan to Forest Green Rovers in March 2017.[7] He signed for Blackpool in June 2017.[8]
Tilt signed for Rotherham United on 31 January 2020 for an undisclosed fee.[9]
In October 2020 Tilt moved on loan to Wigan Athletic.[10][11] On 30 January 2021, he rejoined Wigan Athletic on loan for the remainder of the 2020–21 season.[12][13] He scored his first goal for Wigan in a 3–2 loss to AFC Wimbledon on 6 February 2021.[14]
He re-joined Wigan Athletic for a third loan spell on loan on 31 August 2021.[15] Although the loan was originally until the end of the season, Rotherham exercised the option to recall in the January transfer window on 14 January 2021.[16] He returned to Wigan later that month on a permanent deal.[17]
In March 2021 he was one of six English-born players to receive their first call-up to the Jamaica national team.[18] On 25 March 2021, he made his Jamaica debut when he came on in the 64th minute of a 4–1 defeat to the USA.[19]
Tilt was born in England and is of Jamaican descent.[20]
