Career

In 2014 Hill entered the EBSA European Under-21 Snooker Championships as the number one ranked entrant, but lost in the third round to Ashley Carty. The following year, Hill made it to the final where he defeated Louis Heathcote 6–3 to win the 2015 EBSA European Under-21 Snooker Championships, as a result he was given a two year card on the professional World Snooker Tour for the 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 seasons.[4][5]

Hill beat Robert Milkins 6–4 to qualify for the 2015 International Championship. On his debut at the main stage of a ranking event he was defeated 6–2 by Jimmy Robertson. He played at the UK Championship and Welsh Open for the first time, losing 6–3 to Thepchaiya Un-Nooh in the former and 4–1 to Graeme Dott in the latter. Hill played in the China Open due to Mark Selby withdrawing and won a first round ranking event match for the first time by beating James Wattana 5–3, before losing by a reversal of this scoreline to Dominic Dale.[6]
