New to The Fury in 2025, Jill Gillen began her professional career with the Orlando Valkyries in their inaugural season in 2024. The Stilwell, Kansas native spent the off-season training and coaching volleyball at the University of Arkansas, her alma mater, where she earned a degree in marketing. Standing at 5'7" and considered short for the outside hitter position, Gillen has proved herself with her agility and skill on the court. She can also brag that she is the only professional athlete in the family, as her parents are both doctors and two brothers are lawyers.  She enjoys movies, a good book, and hanging out with friends.
