He was then lured away by German Regionalliga Süd side SV Elversberg where he spent two seasons before moving to French giants Paris Saint-Germain as the team's third goalkeeper. Although he played for the return leg of the second round of the 2001/2002 UEFA Cup,[1] he spent most of his time in the reserves. He joined Swiss Superleague team FC Wil in 2003 and experienced relegation as well as winning the Swiss Cup with them. After that season he returned to Luxembourg but had a two-month spell with English lower league team Chester City.[2]

In 2007, Gillet was contracted to Jeunesse Esch for three years.

He has joined Rugby Club Luxembourg, for whose second team he plays as a back row.[3]
