WINDSOR, Colo. — Northern Colorado Hailstorm FC announced that forward Real Gill has been signed for 2024, pending league and federation approval.

Gill, a 20-year-old Trinidad and Tobago international, comes to the Hailstorm from Club Sando FC in the TT Premier Football League, where he has been since May 2023. He made his professional debut with fellow TTPFL side La Horquetta Rangers FC in 2022. He has scored four times in seven matches for Club Sando this season.

"He's a dynamic winger, bags of speed, bags of energy," Hailstorm Head Coach Éamon Zayed said. "He's the kind of player that gets fans on the edge of their seat when he has the ball."

In addition to four appearances made for the U-20 national team in the 2022 Concacaf U-20 Championship, Gill has made six appearances for the Trinidad and Tobago senior national team across Concacaf Gold Cup, Concacaf Nations League and international friendly play, scoring his lone international goal in a 2-0 friendly victory against Saint Martin in January 2023. Gill's most recent appearance for the Soca Warriors came against the United States in a 2-1 victory in the 2023-24 Concacaf Nations League quarterfinals.

"I am excited for the opportunity to play for the Hailstorm," Gill said. "Éamon and the staff have built a great team that can win titles, and I will do my best to contribute to the winning culture."
