Career[]

Born in Farnborough, London, Gwillim began his career as a junior at Welling United and Crystal Palace,[1][2] before moving into non-League football, playing for such teams as Farnborough Town, Ashford Town (Kent), Bishop's Stortford and Histon.[3]

After Histon rejected a formal approach from Dagenham & Redbridge in November 2009,[4] Gwillim eventually signed for Dagenham & Redbridge in June 2010 on a two-year deal.[5] Gwillim made his professional debut on 31 August 2010, in a 0–1 defeat in the Football League Trophy against Charlton Athletic.[6] After the match, Gwillim publicly announced his plans to usurp Damien McCrory as the club's first-choice left back.[7] Gwillim made his debut in the Football League on 21 September 2010.[8]

On 13 January 2011, Gwillim agreed a loan deal with AFC Wimbledon,[9] playing with them in the 2011 Conference play-off final.[10] Gwillim signed permanently for the club in July 2011.[11] He then returned to non-league football with Sutton United and Ebbsfleet United.[12]
