Thomas Christopher Cahill (born 21 November 1986) is an English footballer.
Born in Leyland, Lancashire Cahill attended St Mary's High School in Leyland and Runshaw College, where he was a member of their Football Academy. He played in the youth team of West Lancashire Football League side Euxton Villa for several years. In July 2006 he signed for Northern Premier League side Matlock Town while studying for a law degree at Sheffield University. In the 2006–07 season he scored the winning goal against Conference South side Histon in the second qualifying round of the FA Cup.
Cahill was set to move to the United States to start a scholarship. However, after he impressed on trial, he instead signed a two-year deal with Rotherham United at the start of the 2007–08 season . Matlock received no fee for the 20-year-old, but they did manage to negotiate a 10% sell-on clause, three pre-season friendlies with the Millers over a five-year period, and first refusal on any youngsters that Rotherham were prepared to release on loan deals.
Cahill was hit with niggling injuries at the start of his Rotherham career. His first appearance for the Millers, came on 6 October 2007 as a 78th-minute substitute in a 3–2 home win over Mansfield Town. After two injuries, Cahill was sent on loan to Conference National side Altrincham on 1 January 2008, where he made 11 appearances, scoring one goal on 8 January in a 2–1 victory over Kidderminster Harriers.
