 Since 1986, Bath City had drawn a significant amount of income from allowing Football League club Bristol Rovers to share their Twerton Park ground; Rovers' return to Bristol at the end of the 1995 – 96 season meant that savings needed to be made, including cuts in the playing budget. Together with team-mate Rob Cousins, Gill joined local rivals Yeovil Town for the 1996 – 97 season for a fee of £ 9,500.
