He made his first-class debut on 15 February 2015 in the Sheffield Shield in the round 7 match between New South Wales and Victoria at Robertson Oval in Wagga Wagga where Doug Bollinger took a hat-trick from his end.[9] He has since umpired a further nine matches with the latest the clash between Tasmania and Queensland at Bellerive Oval in March 2017.[2]

Gillespie made his international umpiring debut during the West Indies women's cricket team tour of Australia in 2014, standing in all four WODI matches. Most recently, he umpired the final two WODIs of the South Africa in Australia WODI series in November 2016 at the Coffs Harbour International Stadium.[1] In February 2017, he umpired three matches in the 2016–17 ICC World Cricket League East Asia–Pacific Region Qualifiers – Fiji versus the Philippines at the Queen Elizabeth Oval in Bendigo; the Philippines against Vanuatu at Canterbury Park in Eaglehawk and Fiji against Vanuatu at Dower Park in Kangaroo Flat.[10]

Gillespie was accepted into the 2015 intake of the Australian Sports Commission National Officiating Scholarship program where he will undertake professional development and identified training activities to be able to officiate the elite level.[6] In May 2015, he replaced Damien Mealey on the 2015–16 National Umpire Panel.[9]
