Rochdale

Gillam signed his first professional contract with Rochdale during the summer of 2016, after the youngster came through the youth ranks at the Crown Oil Arena.[4] His first appearance for the club came on 9 November 2016 in the Checkatrade Trophy, with a 2-1 win over Hartlepool.[5] He marked the occasion with a debut goal.

At the end of the 2017-2018 season, Gillam's contract was due to expire in the summer. On 25 May 2018, the 19 year old signed a new two-year deal with Rochdale.[6] In February 2019, following a week long trial, Gillam signed a short term loan contract with Cork City until July.[7]
