Educated at Hastings High School and John Cleveland College in Hinckley, Hill has played Second XI cricket for Leicestershire since 2009.^[1] During the 2012 season, Hill was selected as part of the Unicorns squad for the 2012 Clydesdale Bank 40.^[2] He made his List A debut during the competition against Northamptonshire at Sir Paul Getty's Ground, Wormsley.^[3] He was dismissed for a golden duck in the match by Lee Daggett, with Northamptonshire winning by 8 wickets.^[4] However in his next outing for the Unicorns against Warwickshire he made an impressive 35 before being dismissed by Chris Wright. In May 2015, Hill made his first-class début at Canterbury for Leicestershire vs Kent. He made 57 and 3 respectively. Although not being in the squad for Leicestershire's trip to Surrey, Boyce failed a late fitness test, meaning Lewis Hill was once again selected. He was chosen to open the batting. He made 126 off just 147 balls, hitting 18 fours and 2 sixes in the process.

Having been white-ball captain since 2021,^[5] Hill was put in charge of the Leicestershire red-ball team in November 2022,^[6] holding both roles until stepping down in September 2024.^[5]
