Worcester
Hill started playing rugby as a child at Malvern RFC prior to joining the Worcester Warriors academy.[2] In November 2017 he made his club debut against Sale Sharks in the Anglo-Welsh Cup.[3] He made his league debut at the start of the 2018–19 Premiership season coming off the bench to score two tries including the winner against Leicester Tigers at Welford Road.[2] On 3 November 2018, an article on BBC Sport's website, illustrated the meteoric rise of Hill, mentioning "(Hill's) four tries in his last five appearances for Worcester".[4]
In June 2020, Hill signed a contract extension which would see him remain at Worcester until 2024 and the following month he was confirmed as club captain.[5][6] He captained Worcester in the 2021–22 Premiership Rugby Cup final which saw them defeat London Irish after extra time to win the only top-flight trophy in their history.[7]
In October 2022, Hill had his contracted terminated by the club, alongside the rest of his teammates after WRFC Players Limited, the company that owns Worcester Warriors RFC, were liquidated following a winding up petition. When speaking on the matter, Hill was quoted as saying, "There will be nothing written for the people who put us in this situation but to the governing bodies of rugby, something needs to change so that this doesn’t happen to any club again."[8]
Bath
After joining Bath on loan only days before his Worcester contract was terminated, it was later announced in October 2022 Hill had joined the club on a permanent basis.[9][10]
Hill started in the 2024–25 EPCR Challenge Cup final as Bath beat Lyon at the Millennium Stadium to win their first European trophy for seventeen years.[11] The following month, he started in the 2025 Premiership final which saw Bath beat Leicester Tigers to become champions of England for the first time since 1996.[12]

In October 2018, Hill received his first call-up by coach Eddie Jones to the senior squad for a training camp prior to the autumn internationals.[2] On 17 November 2018 he made his Test debut as a 75th minute substitute in the victory over Japan.[16][17]
In February 2025, having last played for England against the United States in 2021, Hill was a last minute replacement for George Martin, who had withdrawn through injury, returning to the matchday squad for the 2025 Six Nations fixture against Scotland.[18] He also played in their next match against Italy as England ultimately finished runners up.[19]
