A lock forward who can also play at blindside flanker, Hill began his career with Pontypridd RFC and the Cardiff Blues. In June 2013 he signed for Moseley and in November 2013 joined the Dragons.[1] Hill rejoined Cardiff Blues for the 2020-21 season.[2]

International

In April 2012 Hill was selected as captain of the Wales Under-20 squad for the Junior World Cup in South Africa.[3]

He made his senior debut for Wales on 5 November 2016 versus Australia as a second-half replacement. He played in four of Wales' five games in the 2018 Six Nations, and captained his country against Argentina on the summer tour later that year.

On 16 June 2017, Hill was a mid-tour call up for the British and Irish Lions in 2017, provoking some controversy among the rugby press.[4]
