He previously enjoyed a successful karting career, winning the British KF3 title in 2012.
?I?m really looking forward to getting behind the wheel of the car for the first time,” said Gill.
“It has a lot of features which are new to me, such as the paddle-shift gearbox, but I?m sure I?ll be quickly up to speed and challenging at the front.?
MGR team manager?Steve Lynch added: ?We?re very pleased to welcome Alex back to the team, and are looking forward to seeing how he gets on in a new car.
“He?s shown a lot of promise so far in his short career and we hope to see him up on the podium and challenging for wins at Snetterton and Brands Hatch.”
