Career[]
Whilst playing for Norwich City, Killip spent two loan spells at Lowestoft Town.[5][6] He signed for Grimsby Town in July 2017.[7] He was released by Grimsby at the end of the 2017–18 season.[8]
Killip signed for Braintree Town on 31 July 2018.[9]
He moved to Hartlepool United in May 2019.[10] In the 2019–20 season, Killip struggled for form after making several mistakes and lost the number one spot to Mitchell Beeney, however he soon regained his place in the team.[11] The next season, Killip had a much more successful campaign managing to keep 13 clean sheets in 29 matches.[12] On April 5 2021, in a 2–2 draw with Boreham Wood, Killip injured his elbow and was ruled out for the rest of the 2020–21 season.[13] Killip did, however, make the substitutes bench for the play-offs as the club won promotion to League Two in June 2021.
He signed a new contract for Hartlepool at the end of the 2020–21 season.[14]
