Gillespie was a part of the academy set up at Newcastle United F.C but went to Carlisle United aged 16. Gillespie was a youth team player at Carlisle and now has a regular place in the reserve team.

Carlisle United

On 20 February 2010, Gillespie was named as a substitute for Carlisle's League 1 match against Swindon Town due to the injury suffered by Lenny Pidgeley. He was on the bench for a further 7 games before Pidgeley returned for the 2010 Football League Trophy Final on 28 March 2010.
