Career
Born in Farnborough, London, Gwillim began his career as a junior at Welling United and Crystal Palace, before moving into non-League football, playing for such teams as Farnborough Town, Ashford Town, Bishop's Stortford and Histon.
After Histon rejected a formal approach from Dagenham & Redbridge in November 2009, Gwillim eventually signed for Dagenham & Redbridge in June 2010 on a two-year deal.

After the match, Gwillim publicly announced his plans to usurp Damien McCrory as the club's first-choice left back. Gwillim made his debut in the Football League on 21 September 2010.
On 13 January 2011, Gwillim agreed a loan deal with AFC Wimbledon, playing with them in the 2011 Conference play-off final. Gwillim signed permanently for the club in July 2011. He then returned to non-league football with Sutton United and Ebbsfleet United.
