Career

Birmingham City

Born in Walsall, West Midlands,[1] Till came through the Birmingham City youth system after joining the club as a schoolboy and he earned a two-year professional contract in the summer of 2005.[3] He was included in the matchday first team squad on a few occasions during the 2004–05 season,[4] with Academy manager Stewart Hall commenting "When he has trained and worked with the first team he has looked very good and he has had an excellent season in the reserves and looked a real threat".[5] He made his debut in a 2–0 victory over League One team Scunthorpe United in the League Cup on 20 September 2005.[6] Till was loaned to Scunthorpe United for a month on 5 October after being brought to their attention in the game weeks earlier, with manager Brian Laws commenting "I've watched him twice more since our game and I've liked what I've seen", and his debut came in a 2–0 victory over Tranmere Rovers.[7][8] The loan deal was extended until January 2006 after Till impressed Laws.[9] He returned to Birmingham in January 2006 having made 10 appearances for Scunthorpe.[10][11]

Till was loaned out again, joining League Two team Boston United on 13 January.[12] He made his debut in a 1–0 victory at Chester City and his only goal came in 3–1 victory over Bury on 21 January.[13][14] The loan was extended on 31 January until the end of the 2005–06 season and he finished his spell at the club with 16 appearances and one goal.[15][16] Till joined League One team Leyton Orient on a one month loan on 6 October.[17] His debut came the following day, making the starting line-up in a 0–0 draw with Chesterfield and he picked up an injury on his final appearance, a 3–1 defeat to Bristol City in the Football League Trophy on 1 November.[18][19][20] Orient opted not to extend his loan and his period at the club ended on 4 November after five appearances.[21][22][23]

Grimsby Town

Having failed to establish himself at Birmingham,[24] Till joined Grimsby Town of League Two on an initial one month loan on 23 November.[25] Tony Butcher of Cod Almighty described him as an "instant hit with wonderful wingery" on his debut in a 2–0 victory over Accrington Stanley.[26][27] After impressing manager Alan Buckley during his loan at Blundell Park, Grimsby agreed a deal with Birmingham and offered Till a permanent contract.[28] He eventually joined Grimsby on a two-and-a-half-year contract on 5 January 2007,[29] having already made seven appearances for the team during the 2006–07 season.[30] Following his signing, his first appearance was a 2–0 defeat to Chester.[31] Till received the first yellow card of his career in a 1–0 defeat to Swindon Town on 17 March and he finished the season with 22 appearances.[32][33]

His first appearance of the 2007–08 season came in a 1–1 draw with Notts County on 11 August and his first goal came in a 4–1 victory over Huddersfield Town in the Football League Trophy on 4 September.[34][35] He played six games and scored two goals in Grimsby's Football League Trophy campaign in the 2007–08 season, which saw Grimsby reach the Final.[36] Till started the game as Grimsby were beaten 2–0 by Milton Keynes Dons (MK Dons) at Wembley Stadium on 30 March 2008.[37] He finished the season with 44 appearances and four goals.[38]

Till started the 2008–09 season by playing in a 0–0 draw with Rochdale on 9 August and he scored in the local derby against League Two rivals Lincoln City at Sincil Bank in a 1–1 draw on 30 August.[39][40] Till joined fellow League Two team Chesterfield on a month's loan on 15 January 2009,[41] having made 21 appearances and scored two goals for Grimsby up to that point during the season.[42] He made his debut in a 3–1 victory at Chester on 17 January and in February, the loan was extended until the end of the season after impressing manager Lee Richardson.[43][44] Grimsby announced on 30 April that he would be released when his contract expired on 30 June and in retrospect he commented "It has been a wake-up call if I am honest. I have realised that I can’t coast if I want to get to where I want to be. I have to give 110 per cent every day, not just in games".[45][46] Till finished the loan at Chesterfield with 16 appearances.[47]

Walsall

Till signed for League One side Walsall on a free transfer on a one-year contract on 23 July following a successful trial with the club.[48][49] He commented "To be at my hometown club gives me an extra incentive to do well".[50] His debut came in a 1–0 victory at Brighton & Hove Albion on 8 August, in which he was substituted in the 88th minute.[51] Till suffered a hamstring injury in September,[52] which allowed midfielder Mark Bradley to get a run in the team.[53] After returning to fitness he made his comeback as a 74th minute substitute in a 1–0 defeat at MK Dons on 10 October and he started his next game, which was a 2–1 defeat at Colchester United on 24 October.[54][55] He picked up a minor injury in a 1–1 draw with Charlton Athletic on 2 February 2010 and he was able to feature in the next game, a 0–0 draw with Bristol Rovers.[56][57][58] During Walsall's 2–1 victory at Leeds United on 16 February he picked up a hamstring injury and he returned to the team after entering a 2–0 defeat at Leyton Orient on 13 March as a 77th minute substitute.[59][60][61] He finished an injury-hit 2009–10 season with 30 appearances in all competitions for Walsall and the club announced on 10 May that he would be released when his contract expired on 30 June.[62][63][64]

Till signed a one-year contract with Conference National club York City on 29 June and following the move he said "I spoke to a number of clubs but this felt right. The gaffer made me feel really wanted so that was a key decision in coming".[65] He made his debut in the opening game of the 2010–11 season as a 38th minute substitute in a 2–1 defeat to Kidderminster Harriers on 14 August.[66]

Style of play

Till plays as winger on the left or right sides and his play been described as "tricky".[67] He has described himself as an old-fashioned winger, saying "I am very quick, very fit. I like to get at the full-back – an old-fashioned winger type, if you like. I like to cause the full-back problems and get my crosses in and link up with our full-back as well".[68] Walsall manager Chris Hutchings described him as "an attacking wide-man with pace who is not afraid to take people on" in 2009.[69] Till is also able to play as a striker.[70]
