*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
Gil started playing amateur football with the team of Campo Chico, the gated neighbourhood where he lived with his family.[1] In 2007, a member of the directive board of Argentine Primera División giants River Plate watched him play and asked him to join the club's youth divisions.[2] In 2008, playing for River's reserves, he scored the winning goal in the 1-0 victory over Boca Juniors' reserves in the Superclásico.[1] He debuted with the first team under the guidance of coach Diego Simeone during the 2008 Apertura on a 0-1 defeat to Gimnasia y Esgrima de Jujuy.[3]
For the 2010–11 season, Gil was loaned along fellow River Plate companion Matías Díaz to Chilean Primera División side Ñublense.[4][5]
