So I was just scrolling through social media yesterday when Shahneel Gill popped up in my feed. Some rugby clip, I think? Anyway, people kept arguing about her age in the comments – some said early twenties, others swore she was older. Got me curious, y’know? Wasted like twenty minutes trying to find it myself.
The Frustration Starts
First thing I did was open my search bar – obvious move, right? Typed in “Shahneel Gill age”. Got flooded with useless junk. Old news articles about her games, fan stuff, even junk jewelry ads pretending to be info. Totally useless. Felt like hitting a brick wall.
Tried variations next:
“How old is Shahneel Gill?” – same garbage.
“Shahneel Gill date of birth” – crickets, just more highlight reels.
“Shahneel Gill birth year” – nope, nada. Her team profile? Only listed height and position. Age section? Totally blank. Lost my cool for a minute there.
Trying Something Smarter (Maybe)
Took a breath and tried digging through interviews. Watched a bunch where hosts avoided the age question like it was radioactive. Annoying! Finally found this one podcast clip where she mentioned graduating “a couple years back.” Useless without context!
Then I started piecing it together:
- Her university sports page showed playing for Surrey University team 2020-2022.
- Assuming she started university around 18…
- Subtracted that from the current year (2025)…
The math gave me about 24-25 years old. But felt shaky – was I just guessing?
The Actual Solution (So Dumb)
Almost gave up until I remembered UK rugby clubs usually list player details publicly. Went straight to her club’s official site. Scrolled past stats and sponsorship stuff…
BAM – right there! Born January 7, 2001. Simple as that.
She’s currently 24, turning 25 soon.
Felt like an idiot wasting hours when her birthdate was openly listed all along. That’s the internet for you!
So Here’s The Real Deal
Turns out most fans arguing online didn’t bother checking official sources. People kept spreading rumors that she was hiding her age when it was literally on the club roster.
Lesson learned? Always check the simplest places first. Team sites, actual databases – not just lazy searches. We make things way harder than they need to be.
