[edit] Career

Born in Bristol, Hill began his professional career at his home town club Bristol City, making his debut aged 17 on 7 November 1998 in a 6-1 defeat to his current club, Wolves. He progressed to become a first choice player by the 2000/01 season. He twice came close to winning promotion with the Robins from the third tier, but they lost in the play-offs for two successive seasons.

The defender finally moved up a division when he joined Preston North End in January 2005 in a £100,000 deal.^[1] His first season almost ending with a place in the Premier League, but it was third time unlucky for Hill in the play-offs as Preston lost the final to West Ham. The following season brought more disappointment as injury ruled him out of the final month, where the club once again missed out in the play-offs. He recovered for the 2006/07 season and went on to win the Preston fans' Player of the Year Award.

He joined Wolverhampton Wanderers on 1 September 2008 signing a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.^[2]
