Career
A South Island native, Hill started out his senior career for the Dunedin based Otago Razorbacks and made 14 appearances for them over the course of 2 years. Several injuries to other Hurricanes loose forwards led to Hill being named in the first-team squad for the two-match tour of South Africa which kicked-off the "Canes campaign. Hill"s Super Rugby career got off to the worst-possible start as he was yellow-carded one minute after coming on to the field as a replacement.
Given his sin-binning came with only 8 minutes remaining he didn"t make it back onto the field before the final whistle and his side went down to a disappointing 27-9 defeat to the Sharks.
