On 7 January 2017, Gape permanently joined Wycombe Wanderers on a 2+1⁄2-year deal. [11] He scored the winning goal in a 2–1 victory over Chesterfield on 28 April 2018, as Wycombe sealed automatic promotion to League One for the 2018–19 season. [12]

In May 2019, he was offered a new contract by Wycombe. [13]
