Gateshead
Gilles joined Conference Premier side Gateshead in June 2010.[5] He top-scored for Gateshead in 2012–13 and established himself as one of the best players in non-league football, and was rewarded with a call up to the England C team.[6]

Gillies left Carlisle on 4 May 2015, following the expiry of his contract.[13]
Later career
