Real Nijn Gill (born 23 January 2003) is a Trinidadian footballer who plays for USL League One club Northern Colorado Hailstorm and the Trinidad and Tobago national team.[1]
Gill was quoted as saying that in his early life he “didn't have any time to go football or study in school. Where I lived was like a ghetto. It was a very hard place” but that he “ used to try to keep out of it and stay on the straight road” and that “ Football has helped me a lot to come out of this. To be honest, there are gang wars going on, and it (football) has saved my life”.[2]
Gill began playing regularly for La Horquetta Rangers F.C. in the Ascension League whilst still a teenager.[3] In May, 2023 he signed for Club Sando.[4]
Gill signed with USL League One club Northern Colorado Hailstorm on 16 January 2024.[5]
