Hill was a left-arm medium-pace bowler who played most of his senior cricket for Southland. In Southland's match against the touring West Indian team in 1955–56, he took 8 for 55 in the first innings.[2] A year later, against the touring Australians, he took four of the six wickets that fell in the Australians' only innings.[3] In his first-class career his best figures came in his last match, for an Otago Invitation XI against the touring MCC in March 1963, when he took figures of 25–8–61–4; nevertheless, the MCC team won by an innings.[4]
